I’ve seen plenty of frigate birds ahead of storms, but I’ve never seen an osprey here. Are you sure it wasn’t a Hawaiian Hawk which have some light gray or white feathers when they are young?

Yesterday, I drove out my gate and there was a large Hawaiian Hawk on the ground standing in my driveway. Quite a site. I stopped to observe and not disturb it and it eventually flew up to the cable wires on the road. We often see them in the air and ohias but rarely on the ground.
In regards to the loud aircraft, I checked flightracker during all the noise and it showed nothing so I assume it was military. I thought it must be multiple aircraft because of how loud it was but I saw a break in the clouds to the west and only saw one single white airplane at a relatively high altitude. Obviously there could have been more behind clouds, but I only saw one plane It seemed to circle the Puna district multiple times for at least twenty minutes.
