Today is the 300th article I have written for the newsletter for Dallas Retirement Village, originally known as the "DRV Daily Chronicle", now known as "Looking Ahead". This Osprey was photographed atop a power pole at a pond along Smithfield Rd. near Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge last week. It had just finished eating a fish. It's an appropriate bird to feature in this 300th article because off All the birds that Jeanette and I pursue, it is probably the one species we know the best. We know its life patterns by heart. This male will be leaving in September to fly over 2000 miles south for the winter. Come March he will return to this area and join his female at the same nest they shared this year. He will fish all summer to feed her and their hatched juveniles. Then when September arrives again, he will take off for another winter down south.
