HELLO! I swung around to find this Dad osprey coming in quick, with a lot of curiosity in his face. What a neat surprise as the sun was arising!

Mom osprey was set to grab the fish and bolt for her nest. The fledgling great blue heron, being very inexperienced, tried to get the fish too. A mature great blue heron would not have made the attempt. Mom osprey would not have challenged an adult great blue heron. The fish won the face-off. This time.

You know that saying about “busy as a bee”? Just for the fun of it I caught this common eastern bumblebee gathering pollen and slowed his flight down, a wee bit. It was great fun watching a pollinator at work!
