Hi All While canoeing this afternoon on one of the many branches of the Lahave, a pair of raptors caught our attention. About crow sized, dark underneath with some lighter areas underneath, hard to get the exact plumage as we had no optical aids. Broad tails like fans and wide wings which come near to a point at the end. Looked to me like Broad Winged but I've been known to mistake the various raptors. Anyway they started at tree top level and soared upwards in the warm breezey air until out of eye range. A very pleasant sight. We also saw a Wood Duck - came from over the water and flew straight through the woods. Must have good controls to do a trick like that! Today Stone flies were their most abundant that I've seen so far this year. It is interesting that they must get washed down stream during the hatching process and lay eggs pretty much where they find themselves. Its a wonder the whole population doesn't end up in the Atlantic! No May Flies yet. Another nice spring day Paul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
