End of an era

( Sad, but not unexpected )

That is so cool

When I was young you never saw birds of prey in Massachusetts.
Near my aunt’s cottage they set up stands for ospreys, but I didn’t see one there until I was in my 40’s.

Slowly over the years, the reintroduction to them has been working well.
But, I never expected there would be a time I’d see one sitting on the balcony next to my apartment chasing squirrels in our courtyard.


Sorry for the quality. It was taken through the screen of my porch from about 12 feet away.
By the time I could move to a place not covered with screen, it had gone off after another squirrel...

End of another era

( Must be the weekend for it. But, I didn’t expect it to happen at sword practice... )
