| An osprey caught a fish right off my beach and flew it so close that I heard
the fish curse and felt the beat of wings. I wasn't paying attention and
didn't get the picture. But I have patience. There were two osprey working
the beach. The one that brushed me back went off and ate his fish on a
jetty. We also had C-130s filling the sky. The military aircraft dropped "supplies" throughout the day but it wasn't the long awaited Conch Republic disaster relief effort. The U.S. Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force were practicing search-and-rescue exercises out of Marathon Airport. They circled over the beach, playing peek-a-boo with the palms. The osprey spent a long time finding this little houndfish. He flew past me this time just as the last C-130 run went by. That houndfish was a squirmin' and wigglin' as I took that shot from my chair. |
