On a Wing

Pair of Ospreys

 The other afternoon, as Chris and I along with friends were sitting on the beach enjoying Happy Hour. I watched ospreys fly above the ocean. They are magnificent birds and we are fortunate to see them whenever we are near the ICW or the ocean. 

I marvel at the ospreys' ability to see fish in the water, dive and often enough catch dinner. Watching them struggle back into the air with a fish in their talons is sight to see. They are able to overcome the water, gaining altitude with each pull of their wings.
