I watched the Whooper training session this morning and was blown away by the dedication of the OM staff. It was amazing.![]() Little ones all excited about the ultralight....... ![]() Getting rewarded for their excellent behaviour during flight training...... Cheryl - I have some video but since this is "your baby" if you have a video, you post yours. At one point there were 107 people online and the cam kept freezing. OM sure has a great fan club. |

Spititfox, Thanks for your post last night of the playful Bobby the bobcat. I have seen two bobcats on the Gridley Trail, one was tall with long legs like Bobby, it looked very healthy and strong as it climbed up the cliff leaving from the spring. The other one was a stocky build bobcat , and it disappeared up the cliff without a sound. Two separate sightings. |

eaglepedia revisited August 26, 2007 An observation: Various kinds of fish is the main food source for eagles during most of the year. They forage for dead ones along beaches and shorelines of lakes and streams. The osprey is systematically robbed, as nearly every observer or writer has noted. The eagle, from some favorable perch, watches for the return to is nest of this industrious fisherman, heavily laden with its prey. As the eagle starts in pursuit, the osprey mounts into the air in an endeavor to escape, but the eagle is too swift and too powerful for him, and the weaker bird is eventually forced to drop his prize, which his pursuer often dives down and catches before it falls to the ground. Sometimes the struggle is quite prolonged, but rarely does the osprey escape. Sometimes the eagle fails to catch the falling fish and it may be lost to both birds. Occasionally two eagles join in the chase, when the osprey soon gives up. Mr. Nicholson (Donald J. Nicholson - FL) says in his notes: "I heard the angry cries of an osprey and, looking up, saw a bald eagle chasing the bird. The eagle flew over it making several quick dives, which were easily dodged by the osprey. But before we realized it, the eagle made one quick dive, turning upside down with talons outstretched, and took the fish from the grasp of the osprey. The eagle sailed away with the spoils, as if nothing had occurred. The osprey turned silently, with no pretense of fight, and flew down the river." http://home.bluemarble.net/~pqn/ch61-70/baleagle.html#Young ![]() bald eagle/osprey and the prize - the fish ![]() and it appears that osprey are pursued by other birds as well - red wing blackbird Visit Eaglepedia DISCLAIMER: Information here has been gathered in good faith from the internet and cannot be guaranteed to be totally accurate. |
