Osprey Fishing

Rolled out from Mile 6 to Mile 10, and return...quiet quiet...cement cement and more cement...Domestic Cat at Mile 7 clip and pic...thought pic for post, but moved to sometime after pics and clips of Osprey fishing at Centennial Park...Two Ospreys about, One Osprey in the same Eucy of previous visit...I didn't see Osprey at first...and sat awhile under the Eucy, and looked up, and Osprey had been there all the while...I've attached the flexible camera mount to the bike, and was doing clip, see clip!, when Osprey dove on hearing White Pelicans and Cormorants make a commotion below...Pelicans with Cormorants escort were circling the Lake, which I guess is big enough to be considered a Lake!...missed getting a pic of Osprey's try...Osprey missed too...Osprey circled, joined by Second Osprey, then Perched again...flight pics up...note how far Osprey's Eye protrudes!...I stepped over the Chain that loops between the Posts (like an ocean pier), and sat next to the Water so as to have a clear view, and was taking Pelican pics again when I heard splash!...I had changed the camera settings, but still too slow at 2000/400, but maybe a little action blur okay!...Osprey took fish into the Eucys and hidden...I picked up, and finished the roll...Kestrel at Mile 6.5...the Eucys are in bloom, and Hummingbirds about, but couldn't get pic...too fast..too high!...cloudy warm...don't know what kind of Fish, but clearly Lake is Fish worthy after all!
