Osprey Wisdom

“Most mornings by 7 a.m. my husband and I are down on the seawall with our binoculars and a bird book.

We can always count on finding gulls, sandpipers and ducks.  But this morning – was special, an osprey plunged feet-first into the bay and surfaced with a fish as big as himself.  What followed was an awesome tussle.  Even the gulls looked up from their breakfast to watch. 

Every year the ospreys return to their nesting place around the corner in Lynnhaven Bay.  Those birds are world travelers, but they’ve picked Virginia Beach as the best place to build a home and raise a family.  And, judging from the way they hang around here, they’ve picked Westminster Canterbury as the best place to spend their retirement years, too.” --- Reflections of a Resident
