Hi Rachel, This is a belated and enduring reaction to the event you reported about the Lake Merced osprey. I’ve been obsessing on it - first because ospreys are my favorite raptors for their beauty an

Interesting feather texture the likes of which i have never seen. Be interesting to know if its texture is adapted to arid climates. Looks rather like a plush toy!

After many years of happy partnership, I finally managed to lose my beloved pocket binoculars yesterday. Before I leap to a replacement, I am hoping to gather recommendations from my fellow birders. I
