While mom is home alone tending to the nest built primarily by her mate, another osprey attempts to drop by. The visit is not welcome, and she manages to fend off the unwanted arrival. These osprey chose a bare dead tree on the edge of a parking lot in Flamingo as their nest for 2015. They are smarter than they seem. They realize that they can tolerate the proximity to humans better than a lot of other predatory birds. It provides them, and their offspring, with a modicum of safety that other osprey, nesting farther away, may not enjoy. Another couple has chosen a nest on a walking bridge tower, not 10 feet from where human activity is frequent. That nest is busy each and every year I visit Flamingo.

Kayaking some of the New Jersey intercoastal waterways over the last few weeks has given me the opportunity to see some of our migrating shorebirds with a different perspective. It has also given some of our birds the opportunity to see me in a different perspective, too. Most seem indifferent, a few remain as wary as they always are, but several, including nesting osprey, seem to be much more wary than they would be had I approached them on land. Most of the nesting osprey, near enough to the waterways, will take to the air to check me out. A few have seemed downright annoyed, as in this photo. And on one occasion I thought I might actually come under attack. It the birds become excited I do my best to get by them as quickly and quietly as possible. Osprey survive on a diet of fish, and are the only North American Raptor able to dive into water to catch fish and then fly away. Though I think this bird might like to eat me, I don't think it was looking at me adoringly, at all! #iLoveBirds #iLoveNature #iloveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #DrDADBooks #AreYouAFish #Osprey #Canon #WildlifePhotography

An Osprey flies over its nest near Cape May, New Jersey. Thanks to extensive conservation efforts and abandonment of the use of certain pesticides, these (and many other) beautiful birds are returning in increasing numbers across our country. Eagles were far from the only birds affected by the widespread use of DDT. Osprey are beautifully talented, hard working birds. Unlike eagles, most of what they eat they catch themselves. They are also able to dive, completely submerge, and then escape the water with prey in talons and fly away. I have yet to meet an osprey that I don't like! #ILoveWildlife #ILoveBirds #birds #birding #Osprey #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey

In strife and conflict I besieged [and] conquered the city. I felled 3,000 of their fighting men with the sword ... I captured many troops alive: I cut off of some their arms [and] hands; I cut off of others their noses, ears, [and] extremities. I gouged out the eyes of many troops. I made one pile of the living [and] one of heads. I hung their heads on trees around the city.

INTRODUCTION

Peshawar, Pakistan, 1988

 

Peshawar was the seat of activity for the Afghan Mujahideen (freedom fighters) fighting across the border in Afghanistan.

When they weren't fighting and dying in Afghanistan they were roaming the bazaars of Peshawar.

Bombings and political intrigues were the norm.

 

It was a time of aid-wallahs (workers), x-pats, journalists, and spies, living mostly in University Town (simply called 'Town'), outside of Peshawar City (the old city),on Jamrud Road, leading to the Khyber Pass and Afghanistan.

Heroin factories abounded just outside of the city, in Tribal Territory and across the border in neighboring Afghanistan.

 

This story takes place in this environment, and in this time, but only has passing concerns with these matters, as it happened; I lived in Peshawar City, in Hashtnagri, with Bibi Ji and family (a local P.P.P.-Pakistan People's Party-leader, and of a respected and prominent Sayid family).One could say this story is about Pakistan, though parts of Pakistan most travelers don't get to see, a diary, a travelogue of sorts. It mainly deals with my relationship with a Pathan girl and her family of a questional repute.

 

The story takes place from January 1988 to November 1991, covering visits to Hira Mandi, the famous red-light and natch (dancing) district in Lahore, to evening prayers in the Shrine of Data Baba and at the majestic Badshahi Mosque (also both in Lahore).

It includes a five month horse expedition though the Hindu Kush, Hindu Raj, the Karakoram, and Himalayan Mountains from Peshawar to Chitral, Kalash (Kafiristan), Gilgit, Kaghan Valley, and Azad Kashmir. Polo on the Shandur Top, road blocks in the Karakorams, the Babu Sar Pass, and migrating Gujars and Koochies. The Pashtu music recording scene in Peshawar,in which I was involved. Afternoons spent in Lahore, lounging on a charpoy (local woven rope bed), visiting friends at a Pathan house of pleasure. An evening shoot-out with Punjabi pimps in Lahore. Smoking charras with malangs and policemen. All roads travelled brought me back to her side in Lahore.

 

In the end, our relationship causes me to be kidnapped to Tribal Territory (Bajaur Agency), where I found myself ten miles off the paved road (the slight government control is limited to the paved road), in a mud fort, a short walk from the Afghanistan border tied to a charpoy with her.

 

Before that a wild month abroad, fringing on insanity, staying with Waziri taxi drivers in the desert outside of Dubai, on a crazed search for her. And back in Pakistan, my on-going search for a wife, including chaperoned meetings with several girls on the Frontier. Also after her unexpected return, there are a couple of personal exploratory undercover trips back to Bajaur.

 

There is also a short informative chapter, in the second half, of a visit to Thailand, written in a refreshing and lighter mood.
