Hello Tweeters,

This morning while fishing off Chambers Creek their was an Osprey circling with something in its talons. The Osprey kept circling over all the boats instead of heading back inland as it usually does. It was also making alot of noise, in addition to the regular Osprey sounds it was making something I never heard before. The best I can describe it was a kinda/sorta quaking/croaking sound coming from it. It may have been from what ever it was carrying but I've only seen Ospreys catch fish. The sound wasn't coming from anywhere else. Maybe the bird is it yet, maybe its coomon but I just haven't he. Has anybody else heard anything similair. The Osprey is usually hunting around the mouth of Chambers Creek and I see it a few times a week.
One more thing I saw for the first time this morning, a Great Blue Heron flying with its neck stretched out. The usually birds were all out this morning as well. These are different gulls, terns, cormorants and a Pigeon Guillemont.
