1. I think of last year's kids often

Hoping they are enjoying life & really hoping they return!

[elleng]

2. Yes, and sadly, we'll never know to WHERE they return!

THIS one, here 5 years ago and if a kid then, SHOULD be SOMEWHERE around HERE!

3. They are beautiful creatures

While camping at a high Cascades mountain lake last week we saw an osprey successfully catch trout to take back to a nest. The bird caught fish on most of the dives it made.

4. GREAT!

Tho I live @ river side, with a big old osprey nest next door, I've never seen any of them CATCH fish!

5. One of the amazing things they do

is to turn the fish to align with their own body as they return to the nest...making it easier (or even possible) to fly.

6. Yes, have heard that!
