Osprey

I watched an Osprey hunt for fish at the beach Sunday. He or she didn’t catch anything but it was amazing to see.

Abbreviated Dog Walk

We didn’t get very far on our dog walk on Monday. First we found the squirrel on the pole in our driveway.

“Are you watching me?”

 

But then …

 

We looked up …

 

And there was an Osprey … on the pole … in the yard behind our house … with a still flopping Crevalle Jack in its talons!

The dogs were whisked back inside and the next hour was spent watching amazing scenes of nature, practically in our own backyard! No worries though. The dogs got their walk afterwards.
