 Gee.. July’s almost over and I almost forgot to post my 48-North magazine story for this month – and they already have August ‘in the can.’ Just too much summer in not enough months, doesn’t everyone agree? I was sailing out in Port Townsend Bay a bit ago and saw an osprey dive on a fish. Poetry in motion – a fisherman with perfection. It was truly thrilling to watch. So I cooked up a little story about that bird and the osprey’s amazing ability to successfully land it’s catch on nine out of ten dives. So successful I thought – until some years ago I saw a jealous eagle dive-bomb an osprey in Banff National Park and forced it to release its catch in mid-air, which the eagle then caught on the way down. And they say eagles aren’t as good at fishing as ospreys, but they’re sure better at being bullies.

 

Thanks for reading this week.
