NEW RESIDENCE THIS SUMMER

TWO OSPREY'S HAVE MADE OUR LAKE THEIR HOME. THIS IS AN INTERACTIVE EXERCISE (OPEN IMAGE AND USE YOUR ZOOM FUNCTION) OSPREY IS IN THE CENTER OF IMAGE.
THE OSPREY'S DIET IS FISH. THEY HOVER OVER THE WATER HOPING TO SPY A FISH.
THEN THEY FLAP THEIR WINGS STAYING STATIONARY IN THE SKY. I THINK THEY USE THE SHADOW OF THEIR FLAPPING WINGS TO SPOOK THE FISH TO MOVE. WHEN THEY SEE A MOVING PRAY IT WILL FOLD BACK IT'S WINGS AND CRASH INTO THE WATER. EMERGING WITH A FISH. REALLY EXCITING!!!!

ON THE LAKE

THIS IS A PLACE ON THE LAKE I CALL THE CHURCH. THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN THERE KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
HONORABLE PAPA SAY ALWAYS A SURPRISE ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE.
