A rare-bird reality show

This morning's Lexington Herald-Leader featured "A rare-bird reality show" (D2), an article alerting readers to a "Web Cam Trained on Osprey Family." Several weeks ago I had an opportunity to watch an osprey swoop down on a lake at the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center in Georgia and was momentarily stunned to see the catch. Now I know that perhaps I had seen an osprey hunting for food for his or her chicks. If you'd like to see the live web cam and a host of photos of such parenting by a mom and dad osprey, visit Kentucky Environmental Education Projects. It's well worth the visit!
