A proud young Osprey stands on the top rung br of the tall satellite tower; perched and guarding br his family’s nest. Spring has brought his migrational return br just as it had done with his father and his father’s father br before him. A strong southwest wind carries his screeching; br five crows in a distant tree take heed of his nervous nature. br While directly below the Osprey’s post in the parking lot, br a clot of new grass breaks through a crack in the asphalt br and a rodent eats its last meal…. br All life and death is just a process of trial and error….
