[SBB] Osprey at Steven's Creek Dam

[Chuq Von Rospach <[[email protected]]>]

I wandered up to Steven's Creek Dam today about 1PM to see what was  
going on. Other than three cormorants, the lake was quiet -- until an  
osprey soared in. He got chased a bit by crows at the upstream side  
of the lake, but then spent a solid 30-40 minutes soaring and  
fishing. Dove twice, both times cutting it off short of the water,  
and was still there when I left (late for a meeting) going on 2PM.  
Very large bird, wonderfully marked. Spent a lot of time watching the  
spillway, but also covered the entire lake between the dam and the  
boat ramp multiple times.

no sign of the loon today. I heard, but didn't see, sparrows and  
scrub jays.

IMHO: Jargon. Acronym for In My Humble Opinion. Used to flag as an  
opinion
something that is clearly from context an opinion to everyone except the
mentally dense. Opinions flagged by IMHO are actually rarely humble.  
IMHO.
