For the birds....

I had the thrill of seeing a sea osprey p REAL close.
My brother and I were freshwater fishing down in Brewster a few years ago, and we had been catching way too many sunfish in what should have been a prime trout pond. We decided to do a little "culling" of the sunfish population by feeding them to the passing gulls. At one point we tossed one into the water a few feet from the boat and noticed that the gulls had all departed.
from far overhead you could hear the screech as the osprey dove from over the treetops to pick the fish off the water no more that ten feet from the boat. I turned to my brother and say "You don't get to see THAT in the city, do you?"
I love nature at work.
