Black Bellied Plover

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.
~E. B. White (1899 - 1985)

Black-bellied Plovers are in the area (see map) for a stop-over as they migrate to their high Artic nesting grounds.

The End of The Beginning

Churchill's memorable quote during the Battle of Brittan, "... this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning".
I thought his qoute works for this series of shots. All of the shots are of the same osprey but the first shot is the last taken and that the last is the first taken!
In this "last shot" the osprey had, on his second try, caught a very large perch for breakfast and was being harassed by a diving crow.

Song Sparrow In Swamp

A little sparrow cannot fall
Unoticed, Lord, by thee;
And though I am so young and small,
Thou dost take care of me..

Yellow-Rumped Warbler On Maple

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain,
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

~Emily Dickinson
