Yesterday I saw a confused Osprey displaying over the Susquehanna River at
Havre de Grace. The bird was calling and flapping the way they do in the
springtime. After a while the bird caught a thermal and spiraled up and
away, but I wonder if it plans to display like that over every body of water
crosses to on the way south. 

 

I was happy to hear a Mockingbird calling exuberantly from our neighbor's
chimney this afternoon. This bird has been quiet for several months.

 

No more hummers here-haven't seen one in about two weeks.

"The natural function of the wing is to soar upwards and carry that which is
heavy up to the place where dwells the race of gods. More than any other
thing that pertains to the body it partakes of the nature of the divine."
--Plato
