I heard it was just going to be some rain and wind, well that is what they are saying so far, I don't quite believe it either. The weather has been a bit weird, too humid for this time of year, the animals are acting weird, the geese are in the harbor honking already, fawns still have their spots? I am prepared as i can be for whatever comes our way, lots of water, dishes are all washed, the cupboard is stocked with canned foods, batteries and wood in the basement. Brought in all of my garden ornaments just in case, don't want any of those cans flying through the air. I just have a feeling we are going to get hit with something, perhaps not Ophelia, but something. Batten down the hatches all. Here she blows. Valerie

Thanks, TMFF - that makes perfect sense. This creek running across the road was a Mecca for the eagles. They were fishing and I was trying to follow one as it got off the treetop, skimmed the creek, caught a fish and was flying off. It is only now when I am looking at that set of pictures do I realize there was more than just that one I was tracking as evident in this picture - three in all!

Thanks for the confirmation, TMFF! Appreciate your taking the time.

Ospreys have very distinct wing shape and tail/wing pattern that are still evident in these photos.
