Life changing event #2

The second event on the list is something obvious but at the same time amazing. Have you ever wondered where osprey's get the sticks to build their nests? This question has bugged myself and my dad for a long time, but last week the bugging question was answered.

We were floating along and watching some Herons when we noticed an osprey flying in. We couldn't tell where it was heading because it was controlling its flight like it was going in for a landing. But, it wasn't slowing down. It was heading right for a dead part of a pine tree; we were there thinking, "well it can't land there" SNAP The osprey took the top of the tree right off, a good 4 foot stick.

Sitting there jaw open, watching the osprey carry its stick off to the nest, we couldn't believe what just happened. All these years wondering, answered in a single act. Life changing.
