Unaware...
I am sitting here on this PERFECT day...mid 70s, low humidity, popcorn clouds, happy to be out here checking nests. I am watching a nest that is high on a cell tower. I keep hearing a little peeping sound that sounds like an osprey who is happily eating, but I can't see him. I peek around some trees and see the male right on a power pole next to the road, eating a fish. A car stops and a woman gets out, walks right below him to get her mail, never looking up, gets back in her car and leaves. People miss so much. I laughed...but I knew he was there! The bad news is that there is one less chick than the last time I visited. Darn it. Black flies?
