Sounds a lot like a "River Hawk" 'eh?  River Hawk = Osprey like a
Nittany Lion = Mountain Lion for Penn?

I, too, like the idea of an Osprey.  The problem is, I don't want to have
to spend all my time answering the question, "What's an Osprey?" every
time I take someone to a Lowell game.  At least no one will ask what a
River Hawk is!??!
