Osprey

Going through old(ish) pictures, I found a set of photos showing a really cool thing. Ospreys take their fish to a branch for a leisurely meal, and on the way they turn the fish around so it’s aerodynamically efficient, head forward. They also like to fly around the cove and I pretend they are showing off for me . . .

It’s just amazing what they can do in mid-air. Here it’s getting the fish into the right arrangement.
All set now.

Back after a long absence

The blog has been dormant but it might be waking up–let’s find out! Here are some photos from the new year.

Leeloo holds the title for most majestic being resident at Tedderhaven.
Pippa and Video are less majestic but more entertaining, generally.
There is something about playing under the car that is irresistible.
Ospreys have terrifying talons.
I now have a filter that enables photos of actual sunspots. Just in time for the part of the eleven year sunspot cycle where we have a lot more activity than usual.
The moon and the osprey are my favorite subjects.

A few days at the lake

The osprey and the heron made themselves scarce over the summer, or maybe I just wasn’t watching for them. I’m so glad they’re back. The hummingbirds are still here, although the huge pulse of migrants left a week or more ago. We’re looking for monarchs in the next few days.

The monarchs will be passing through very soon and this is not one of them.
Great blue heron
These birds are so big, and their feet! Look at those feet.
Their wings are pretty impressive, too.
But sometimes they are a little ungainly.
The gecko is the opposite of massive. This one was only a couple of inches long.
White lined sphynx moth
I’ve let my hummingbird ID skills slip. This is definitely a hummingbird, pretty sure.
Also massive: ospreys. The end of the cove is just a little too far to get a good photo.
Another blurry photo, but those wings!
