(Fun fact: on predictive text phones of the period, entering SMIRNOFF resulted in POISONED.)
An essential piece of birding (and espionage, I guess): awareness of your surroundings.
Excellent work, @Agent_99!

Still looking for this one.
It only occurred to me because when I checked the thread I had just collected my bike from a mechanic who was wearing a very nice Smirnoff shirt. (I was tempted to make him an offer for it.)
Nonsense. Vodka is a very pure spirit, and thus will not give you a hangover. Allegedly.
The Desert Eagle manufactured since 1983 by Magnum Research Inc. has not appeared in a Bond film.
In gaming, Desert Eagle Mark XIX variants are associated with Bond.

USS Eagle (AM-132), was renamed Captor (PYc-40) as a Q-ship, 1942.
Q-ships, aka Q-boats, also decoy or special service or mystery ships, acted as covertly armed merchant vessels, intended to bait German subs into surface attacks. Once the U-boats rose and committed, the Q-boats sought to sink them. Used in WWI by the British and Germans; in WWII by the British and the US.
Q refers to the original home port of Queenstown, Ireland.
USS Eagle 56 (PE-56).
US Navy patrol boat from WWI, carried forward to WWII in service towing targets for bomber training. Sunk 23 April 1945 off the Atlantic coast of Maine, blamed on a boiler explosion. Many years later in 2001, German records confirmed what servicemen and family members believed all along: a U-boat (specifically, U-853) was to blame. These events are chronicled in the book Due to Enemy Action, Stephen Puleo.
(I had an uncle that went down with the ship. Have visited a small memorial plate by the lighthouse at Fort Williams, Portland, Maine a couple times. Last, June 2017.)

Old French (ospres). Latin (ossifraga, from os or bone, frangere meaning to break, likely related to habits of the Lammergeier to drop bones from height seeking their marrow).
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus): daytime specialists in fishing known as Fish eagle, Sea hawk, River hawk, Fish hawk. Use special vision to see under the water's surface in flight, a short hovering pause, then a diving action to grab prey with talons. Dark brown and light grey coloring. Found worldwide in many habitats understandably near water. A single species ranges worldwide, excepting Antarctica.
Osprey don't mess around.
