This has been amazing to watch unfold! Osprey are captivating to watch, and this mom is exceptional. We need to edit the subject line to say 'NOT - Sad news'!!
As always, great pics and narrative, Lou. I do think it looks like Jemison's right wing is just not hanging properly. Hopefully, it's just strained, not broken.
HALLELUJAH!! Thank God for all the watchers - so diligent all day long! Thanks Donna, for the post. I bet Callidora landed on that jail and hunkered down all day, scared out of her wits!
Had to share these links to four photos of a leucistic female Pileated Woodpecker, taken by Greg Page. She was accompanied by a male and another female (both 'normal' plummage). Probably a once-in-a-lifetime spotting! Beautiful bird.
