My daughter and I saw an osprey yesterday evening (July 11) while canoeing/fishing at Shreve Lake in southern Wayne County. It flushed from the top of a tree in the southeast corner of the lake and had what appeared to be a very full crop. "That was a pretty fat bird," my daughter said. There were several green herons at the lake, one of which we anchored very close to because we didn't see it at first, but it didn't pay any attention to us one way or the other and gave us a nice long look at its feeding behavior -- snatching an insect (apparently) from a branch, craning its neck waaay up to peer down into the water, etc. Kurt Knebusch Near Nashville in western Holmes County ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
