On this morning’s episode…
I watched the precision high dive of an osprey into the ocean. The hawk surfaced with a surprisingly large fish -especially considering the shallow water depth.
The fish was heavier than a normal catch, causing the osprey to land on the beach several times for a better grip.
After a few minutes of attempted take off and forced landings, the osprey gave up and left the fish behind. Â The hawk quickly returned over the ocean in search of “lighter fare” for breakfast!
So, if you find a random dead fish in your yard, it’s not from some epic flood.
Likely leftovers from an overzealous osprey 🙂
Fabulous Fifties
Out of the office message: Â Friday May 4th to Friday May 11th. Â Back in the office on Saturday May 12th.
A few years ago, my sisters and I vacationed together to celebrate the “baby’s” 50th birthday.
Although we had traveled as a group with our families, this was the first time since our teen years with just the 4 of us under one roof.
Thankfully, we managed to share bedrooms and bathrooms without any major incidents 😉
Rather than wait until next year for another milestone birthday, we decided to celebrate the eldest turning 59.
And of course we will be relaxing on a beach 😎
Ages: 53, 56, 57, and 58… turning 59.
Yes, our parents had their hands full!
