WHAT’S NEW?
There are 3 juvenile osprey in the nest at the lake across from Fox Freeway; 2 are flying and 1 is getting ready to take off.
Interesting facts about osprey: the female (1.6 kg) is heavier than the male (1.4 kg) and they can have a wingspan of up to 6 feet.
2 of their toes are reversible which enables them to turn a fish in their clutches so that it is carried head first incurring less wind resistance.
Osprey from Canada spend the winter in Central and South Americas
…the MINI-GOLF COURSE is being resurfaced and five holes are ready for play
Vol. 36, no. 11… August 2, 2013
