When I was on Chincoteague and Assateague Islands in April, there were nesting
Osprey in a number of locations around the two islands.

My friend promised me a very special incredible bird, wouldn't tell me what,
and then in the canoe got us a great look at ... a Bald Eagle. He turned and
looked at me with a "Hey? Hey? Ever seen one before?" look. Oh dear. :) How
to tell him about the Bald Eagles that nested just a few blocks north of my
house in Seattle? Or of going to the Skagit and seeing hundreds and hundreds
of them? Or of going for a walk every evening and seeing one fly by almost
every evening?

Heh.

I enthused about his Bald Eagle but I must not have been awed enough because
he grew dismayed and knew something was up, and I had to explain. Oh, the
disappointment...

He made up for it with other incredible bird sightings, though!
