Jordan Lake Neighborhood: Weight??? 07/11/2019

July 11, 2019 9:15 pm

How much weight for your mass can you carry?  And fly, at the same time?
This male osprey weighs about 3 to 3.5 pounds.
The largemouth bass weighs about 2 pounds.
It is utterly mind-bending every time I see an osprey fly past with a large fish.
Think on it: I couldn’t walk up a hill carrying more than half my own weight.  Hmm…
Jordan Lake, North Carolina, USA
