I headed to Global Pond in the afternoon after the torrential rains in the morning finally ceased. There was a sharp whistle overhead and I looked up just in time to see an Osprey flying by. This fish-eating bird of prey was clutching an unlucky mullet in its sharp talons enroute to consume his prize on a perch somewhere closeby.
"Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Who is the Fairest of Them All?"These 'Snow White' wannabes did not have magic mirrors that could answer them but you would have thought so by the way they were parading about the pond showing off their raised crests. These female Hooded Mergansers were a pretty sight but nowhere near their stunning male counterpart which was not present.
