"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world - fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don't know their names - though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them." ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Osprey in the Park
"Look, it's an eagle!"
That's what the six-year-old boy at Manito was yelling as the osprey flew wide slow circles around the pond.
Osprey are called fish eagles, and seahawks, but they're actually their own species.
