Like the change in the Flight Path also looks as if Edith finished half of the prize before heading home.

My white stuff is melting as fast as it came down.

Happy Shooting

That Osprey is going to venture over the nest one time too often Hal. My money is on Archie or Edith.
Lovely image!! #8374783

As always I think this one is great.

We may have sleet today..
Isn't Global Warming a change in the earths weather, I think we have seen some changes this year.

Still hope to be down next week.Maybe I'll bring you a squirrel for your yard !

Michelle Alton February 12, 2010

I've actually heard more than a few explanations of how this cold is EVIDENCE for global warming!

I'm out of words for your eagle captures, Hal. All are just over my vocabulary threshold! #8375871

Val Feldman level-deluxe February 12, 2010

Stunning capture Hal!! I hadn't been exposed much to Ospreys until the last two years. It seems to me they aren't the best of friends in good times, I can only imagine babies would make things many times more intense. #8380364

Ellen Hodges February 15, 2010

Absolutely fantastic capture and story, Hal! Must be wonderful to watch all this!! #8384287
