Last weekend we saw a group of raptors circling up into a thermal cloud. We’d just seen the night before a PBS special on migrating birds. Jim turned to me and said, I’ve never seen groups of migrating raptors. Then the next day we see them. Synchronicity.

That’s pretty cool. There is something very powerful about groups of migrating raptors. Well, they don’t even have to be migrating. On my journey the other day, Osprey was there in the beginning. She must have been a guard at the entry point. I never saw her again.
I watched an Osprey fish once for an hour on a canoe trip in the Boundary Waters. Everyone left camp to hike. And I just sat there on the shore and watched this Osprey fish. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
