This is a pelvis and part of the spinal column. It's probably a Cormorant, pelican, duck etc. according to location and size.

Thank you Scott. I'm new to the site and when posted I didn't have ANY idea of what I had found. lol Thank you for moving it to the correct category. In the future I'll know to do that. Thanks again.

Hello. I moved your spotting to the Birds category. Other is an invertebrate category for invertebrates that don't fit into Arthropods and other categories. :-)
