Hi Folks,
 
Bob Adamo requested that I post a few of his Horned Grebe photos on my Flickr 
page. They are quite nice and so is the bird. Enjoy.

This afternoon, thanks to yesterdays post by Derek Rodgers, plus his subsequent 
answer to my query re: general location, I found this gorgeous individual in 
the creek that ends at Dam Trail, ~ 50' w/o Peconic Trail (which runs n/o Rt. 
24) in Flanders. The bird swam, sometimes with some mallards, but did nothing 
else (albeit, move it's head and stretch it's neck) in the 1/2 hour, or so, 
that I photographed it. It didn't dive, etc., but did look healthy.

I also had occasion to pass the 2, historically successful Osprey nests located 
near the Peconic Estuary, in Flanders. The 1st, at the intersectioon of Routes 
24 and 105, the 2nd, on a small island in the P/E, just e/o the Rt. 105 bridge 
over the Peconic River. These nests are only about 200 yards apart, as the 
Osprey flies.!

The 1st nest held an adult and 2 young -who, by the way they were flapping 
their wings, should be airborne shortly ! This nest (which, I think has fledged 
young for at least the past 4 years) defies logic. It sits atop a 
pole/platform, situated at one of the most heavily traffic-ed and noisy 
crossroads on the "east-end". The Osprey must be quite a hearty specie to be 
able to thrive in the face of the amount of pollutants that are  emitted from 
car/truck exhausts on a daily basis. 

Because of the time, I was only able to view the island nest as I slowly 
crossed over the bridge, seeing only a single bird (which I took to be an 
adult) and therefore, don't know it's status this year. I do know this nest 
predates nest #1 by quite a few years, and believe it has produced young many 
years running.

Cheers,
Bob
