I'm too young to remember Fantasy Island. I went out to my favorite preserve today. Lots of birds making noise and a few flying around but it was hard enough getting butterfly photos! The only bird I managed to get a picture of was this one with a cool yellow underbelly. Kind of a large bird. I mean, bigger than a Cardinal, if you know what I mean. I saw a couple of them in the area.



In exciting news, on the way home I was stopped at a red light at a major intersection. My eyes drifted up, and I saw an osprey nest on one of the platforms we've built for them! There were two adult birds in the nest, too. I was dead tired or I would have pulled over. But I don't think they'll be relocating in the next few days so I'll drive back that way, park in the shopping plaza on the corner, and walk to the edge and get a picture.
