OUR THANKS to Jay for posting about the "swamp" OSPREY yesterday thanks to his
& Perri's sharp birds' eyes.
As we came by there tonight, in fairly heavy traffic, about 6 o'clock, I
spotted THE BIRD in a snag near the shore along 38. I turned around & went back
so John & I could have better looks. The bird flew to a dead tree out in the
pond giving me good underside views.
Jay, do you consider this a young bird? It seemed a bit small .... ('til it
flew) ..... with the little band of color on the breast & a lot of white on the
head.
By the way .... our CO daughter called this a.m.. She had close to 2 feet of
SNOW at her house near Canon City at Westcliffe. She expected to spend parts of
the day plowing her steep driveway. She lives a mile from the highway.

Perri and I saw a late OSPREY sitting in a snag in the swamp along Rt. 38 south
of Dryden and north of Beam Hill Road this evening.
