[Tweeters] Osprey in Skagit - Recent?

[jimbetz at jimbetz.com]

   ... thanks to all who reminded me that the Ospreys migrate South  
for the Winter.
                        DOH!

   So the Osprey leave and the Bald Eagles arrive (in numbers) and  
then the Bald Eagles
leave and the Osprey return.  Just an interesting coincidence?  They would be
competing for pretty much the same food (fish) although to me the Eagles are
considerably less 'picky' (they'll eat just about anything).

   I saw a great video of a Bald Eagle carrying off a fox on youtube.   
Amazing that it
can lift and sustain that much extra weight - it was even 'soaring'  
with the fox
(perhaps in a strong updraft?).
