at the Beach..and Lake on Father's Day

started off to be a quiet early morning Sunrise at the beach.. some 'peeps' walking and pic-taking.. along with the usual regular dogwalkers.. left the beach and stopped at the Lake.. wet a line today with lots of bumps and bites but no hookups like yesterday.. watching the Ospreys  with Papa catching breakfast and dropping it off at the nearby nest .. Papa Osprey just went on over to the next treetop drying out his wings and along comes the blackbirds to bother him... all of a sudden there's a 'dogfight' in the sky.... after chasing off the blackbirds Papa Osprey back to his perch to get some rest--after all it's Father's Day.. Happy Father's Day to all :)
