Findley Lake 9/19/10

A long session with an osprey. He greeted as we were putting the boats into the water and then led us back and forth across the lake - posing, then going off to successfully hunt, and finally trying to eat its catch while enduring our photoing. We eventually became merciful and let him eat in peace. The herons were much more tolerant and held their ground while we pestered them with our cameras. Cool evening - a little breezy - and very quiet. No other boats and only a few fishingpersons. Nice night.

The osprey is becoming a regular feature.

Findley Lake 9/5/10

Much time with a very willing osprey. First watched him soaring with a group of buzzards, then he went fishing (successfully), and then he posed for a long time. Also saw a lot of herons and one very impressive egret. It was a very good Labor Day evening on Findley.
