2. THANKS!

SO lucky, was heading out for a bit, left house, heard a 'chirp,' looked up, and spent next 1o minutes clicking!

3. He really seems to like that tree, doesn't he?

Must be a a great view from up there!

4. Yes, good view downriver!

5. I love Ospreys.

I used to work by the river and there was an osprey that nested atop one of the buildings right above where I walked. I'd talk to her and we'd look at each other and occasionally she'd "talk" back to me. It's one of the few things I miss about working.

6. We often 'seem to' look at each other, and I often wave and say 'hi!'

They'll leave MD soon, for their southern vacation, and I'll watch for them around St. Pat's Day. Fortunately this is @ my home, so don't have to 'work' to see them.

7. You are so lucky!

I have seen some flying around where I live (across from the river) but no nests that I know of. We do have grey herons that nest here for awhile and they are awesome, the ibis in their season (now), and woodpeckers, hawks, ravens, crows, woodpeckers, cardinals, jays, bluebirds, chicadees and mocking birds are very abundant in this old forest. We even have a number of vultures around, but those are much more recent.

Damn, forgot to mention owls. We have numerous owls here too.
