I was sailing out in Port Townsend Bay a bit ago and saw an osprey dive on a fish. Poetry in motion &#8211; a fisherman with perfection. It was truly thrilling to watch. So I cooked up a little story about that bird and the osprey&#8217;s amazing ability to successfully land it&#8217;s catch on nine out of ten dives. So successful I thought &#8211; 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&#8217;t as good at fishing as ospreys, but they&#8217;re sure better at being bullies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thanks for reading this week.<br \/>\nLarry Eifert<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\">Click <\/a>here to go to the online blog this was to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/larryeifert.com\">Click <\/a>here to go to our main website &#8211; packed with jigsaw puzzles, prints, interpretive portfolios and lots of other stuff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/nancycherryeifert.com\">Click<\/a> here to check out what Nancy&#8217;s currently working on with her photography.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/virginia.larryeifert.com\">Click<\/a> here to go to Virginia Eifert&#8217;s website.
