Winning on Wednesday 03-02-16

Copyright 2016 AJ Horton

Hello and happy Wednesday.  Have you ever seen Ospreys up high in nests on poles with platforms along the highway?  You have if you've driven along Interstate 4 between Tampa and Orlando in Florida.  I'm told that the poles with platforms were originally placed along the Interstate for the Eagles in an effort to keep them from making their nexts on top of power poles.  We didn't see any Eagles on our drive, but there were plenty of Ospreys.  I guess it's "first come, first serve" for the platforms.  I didn't see any Eagle nests on the power poles either so I guess it's a "win" for the electric company and a "win" for the Ospreys.  Maybe it's even a "win" for the Eagles.

I hope you had a winning day.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Tuesday Talk

Copyright AJ Horton

 So it's Tuesday!  Wanna talk?  This baby cardinal does.  I'm pretty lucky because this one and his/her family visit my yard often.  I've seen them from very little to this size to growing up and leaving.  The parents seem to stay and have a new batch every year.  I love having birds in my yard and watching their  interactions with each other.  They bring a lot of joy.  And, with the bird feeder properly placed, I can get a lot of pictures which also brings me joy.  They enjoy being fed and I enjoy photography.  It's what I'd call a win-win situation!  Haha

I hope you had a good Tuesday and there's something/someone in your life at the end of the day with whom you experience joy.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.
