Where the eagles nest was last year
Toward the Potomac
Cloudy
Mr. Impressive Osprey
Almost 80 degrees out, in March no less, so had to get out on the water. Needed to dig handfuls of sand out of my kayak that somehow found it's way in over the winter, but won't be able to get it all out until the water is turned back on and I can really clean it up with the hose. Paddled over to where I saw the eagles last summer but didn't see anything, not even the nest, which should have been fairly visible without the leaves. Did it blow away in one of the winter storms? Watched the osprey whopping it up as they were doing their mating/courting dances. Watched one male fly straight up, hover in place like a drone, flapping his wings, then straight down in a nose dive bomb. The female near by was not impressed but I sure was. I mean, well, not impressed enough to... sorry Mr. O, wrong species here. A little cloudy out but I'll take this weather. Bring it on, summer!
