It's hard to be modest at times, but we try very hard to be modest in our accomplishments. Today, one of our images was celebrated in a way that made us smile with some degree of pride. The thing about this event today is that we actually got to see it take shape in real time and just stopped what we were doing and watched it play out on our site. And to the parties involved we can only say,"Thank You" for the confidence and vote of support in our work. Again, "thank you" to those who know who you are. Our customers are our heart beat and it means so much to us to have you as customers and agents in step with our mission. When all three come together in harmony, it's a celebration for all three.
In the meanwhile, here's some more bird pictures

| A songbird fledgeling |

| The family of Turkey Vultures with last years and this years fledglings. The near right and left of the inflow allowed two big carp to swim inland.When the water receded the carp were left high and dry and soon died. The vultures are nature's garbage men and these two each have one of the carp they are working on. These are the same birds seen thermal riding over the marina area and sitting on the light post along Mockingbird and Flag Pole Hill. |

| See the Osprey in flight? Two years ago there was a nesting osprey, then last year, I didn't see one at all. This early January, I spotted the osprey coming across the lake from Mt. Vernon area. It seemed to have favored the woods around Poppy and Sunset Bay. An would you believe---there it is hugging the treeline. The white on the head with the bar markings can sometimes be missed by the most experienced 'bird watchers'. |
