While riding to and from work on Metro's Yellow Line train over the Potomac 
River between the L'Enfant Plaza and Pentagon stations, I always take a look 
at the RR bridge. That bridge is a popular hangout for Peregrine falcons 
and/or Ospreys, depending on the season. This morning, for the first time 
this year, I saw an Osprey on the bridge; it appeared to be eating a fish. 
This evening, I saw two Ospreys mating atop the old Osprey nest on the 
bridge. Spring is really here!
