[birdky] Osprey? at UK Stadium today

Hello Everyone,
I saw a big bird today that was at the ES Good Barn, which is right across
the street from the UK Football Stadium. The bird was in the tree at the
back of the building and I saw it as I went by on the shuttle bus.  From a
distance it looked like a huge stuffed owl and I had to check it out. I got
to my car and drove over there and it was still perched in the tree. It was
very big with solid grey wings and back and had a solid white breast. I
could not see its face but was sure it was some kind of raptor and thought
it was an osprey. 

I had 20 minutes to get to a meeting so I did not park, but I wish I would
have now.  There were a couple of little birds making noise around it, but I
didn't have the time - that I wish I'd now taken anyway! I took a picture of
it with my cell phone camera but the picture is so tiny I don't know if it
will come out or not. Right now it just looks like a big black outline in a
tree. I'll try to get it on my computer and blow it up later.  Did anyone
else see it - and do you think it will stay for any time? I'll be looking
for it tomorrow and may bring a real camera this time.

Thanks!
