Man I used to sit out on my back deck in Merryland and watch the ospreys. It was glorious.
What they do....they “hover” in the air directly above the water. We lived on a cove and the water was shallow. Lots and lots of glorious carp in the waters below.
The osprey would hover like a helicopter above the cove waters. Once he saw his prey he....WHOOSH! would drop straight down and very fast. Man it was something to see.
He’d go completely under the water than come out of the water with a struggling carp clenched in his talons. ME I’d be rooting for the osprety cause that carp wasn’t too happy about being his dinner.
Yeah, they nest along the poles and on the Chesapeake Bay they love to nest on the buoys and such that dot the bay.
Glorious bird, glorious, glorious.
I lived in the Adams family house in Merryland but man that cove was magnificent.
I even wrote a book about it.
Now we got the mayor of another NJ town making allegations against Christie!
WHERE IS BENGHAZI? THE IRS?
I know, I repeat the rest of us.
They’re determined to bring Christie down. This is all the Hillary group....man what an evil witch this woman is. Then the Senate Benghazi report finds fault with everyone in the State Dept BUT HILLARY?
That woman scares the hell out of all those no-ball legislators in congress. The Republican political elite is even growing breasts!
When I was stationed in DC I used to go fishing (a lot) at Patuxent Naval Air Station, right off of the golf course. There was an osprey nest nearby but the water off the fishing spot was very deep (mouth of the Patuxent River). Saw them catch fish in the back bays of the golf course very often.
You describe it to a T and bring back many memories!
You paint a lovely picture!
They are amazing to watch! I’ve see them dive - - couldn’t believe they went and stayed in the water like they did. Always came up with a catch!
Take a ride on the Maine Eastern.
You’ll see a load of osprey nests.
