My favorite image from yesterday, turns out not to be a bird. It was this Pine that I’ve seen a thousand times. It stands near the big nest behind the picnic shelter at Battery Worth, Fort Pickens area.
The male Osprey that has inhabited the nest nearby for a long time uses this tree as his favorite place to chow down on a fish – before he takes the part he’s willing to share to his mate, who is patiently – or not so patiently! – sitting on the nest tending to their young’uns.
But yesterday it was the tree itself that stood out against the stormy sky.
I wonder if anybody else noticed it. Nah. Probably not. After all … it’s just a Pine tree.
