During my lunch break a few minutes ago, I was sitting on the stone wall overlooking Beebe Lake (near where Plantations Rd intersects Forest Home), and heard something slapping the water a couple of times. A few seconds later, I saw an osprey fly by me with a fish. It flew along the south shore of Beebe Lake, landing in one of the trees next to the lake. Last year I saw an osprey a handful of times on the lake, but it wasn't an everyday occurrence. -Liisa
