Sorry I couldn't be there, but I can start a place for you to post your shots, so I can see what I missed.
 
The birds and gators were disappointing this year. We went on to Crystal River to see the manatees and they had already left for the gulf.

It was great seeing everyone who made the trip. Here's the first one I've processed.

Here is a severely cropped one of a osprey (thanks Marilynn) in flight. I ended up using my 300 f4 with the D7200 in manual focus mode. So i have some miss, but the sharp ones are pin sharp.

That's an Osprey Marcel.
Thanks for the correction Marilynn. That shows you my advanced knowledge of birding. :)
I knew the french name which is "Balbuzard" so I thought it was a buzzard. Is there such a bird (buzzard)?

A lot of folks call vultures buzzards, but I think a buzzard and a vulture are different.

The two words "buzzard" and "vulture" are `used interchangeably, so there is a lot of confusion.
Usually, you see "buzzard" when referring to those ugly birds eating roadkill. However, there are long explanations why the term "buzzard" started being used.

To answer your question. Yes, there are "buzzards" and "vultures."
