Hi all,

Thanks for all the Seahawk comments, and especially the wonderful video by Craig and Joy Johnson, they are heroes of mine although I've never met them? (I have their books).

I have a question.?? I grew up in Pennsylvania in the 50s and 60s, and Osprey in Pennsylvania-Dutch land were always?called fishhawks, never for a minute?seahawks.? Were they ever actually called seahawks here?? I understand that a large number of?people suggested that name to the football franchise, which in turn?suggests to me that it may have actually been in some kind of standard usage here and maybe on the west coast, where you sometimes see Osprey near various seas.

Does anybody on tweeters remember hearing that usage prior to the advent of the Seattle Seahawks around here or anywhere?

Thanks,

Ed Newbold?? (looked for Monroe?Gyr today with Delia and Brian Pendleton and settled for some gorgeous Canvasbacks on the Prison Pond.)
