And the osprey is back

So, our friend the osprey has been in our midst the last couple of days. He circles over the ponds then perches on a branch, just like in the picture, waiting for the right moment to dive with laser focus. As majestic as this bird of prey is, he's after our trout and we're not having it. So far we've been able to distract him by making noise and making our presence known, causing him to veer and fly away... following the river down to Martin's ponds. There is some good news; luckily for us apparently it's not heron season. Thank goodness for small mercies.
