Hi all,
The Osprey pair at Dryden Lake have been busy collecting nest material the last
few days. Typical behavior seems to be flying over a small tree on the lake

Birders,

Hi everyone,
While some may prefer sunny blue skies, days where skies blend into bark and
mud offer much better birding. Shades of gray and heavy moisture in the air
