The osprey is one of the most widespread birds of prey and can be found on every continent except Antarctica.
Ospreys are superb fishers and indeed eat little else—fish make up some 99 percent of their diet. Because of this appetite, these birds can be found near ponds, rivers, lakes, and coastal waterways around the world. Ospreys hunt by diving to the water's surface from some 30 to 100 feet (9 to 30 meters) up. They have gripping pads on their feet to help them pluck fish from the water with their curved claws and carry them for great distances. In flight, ospreys will orient the fish headfirst to ease wind resistance.
Ospreys are sometimes confused with bald eagles, but can be identified by their white underparts. Their white heads also have a distinctive black eyestripe that goes down the side of their faces. Eagles and ospreys frequent similar habitats and sometimes battle for food. Eagles often force osprey to drop fish that they have caught and steal them in midair.
Human habitat is sometimes an aid to the osprey. The birds happily build large stick-and-sod nests on telephone poles, channel markers, and other such locations. Artificial nesting platforms are common in areas where preservationists are working to reestablish the birds. North American osprey populations became endangered in the 1950s due to chemical pollutants such as DDT, which thinned their eggshells and hampered reproduction. Ospreys have rebounded significantly in recent decades, though they remain scarce in some locales.
Most ospreys are migratory birds that breed in the north and migrate south for the winter. They lay eggs (typically three), which both parents help to incubate. Osprey eggs don't hatch all at once, but are staggered in time so that some siblings are older and more dominant. When food is scarce these stronger birds may take it all and leave their siblings to starve.

The average capital city in Sub-Saharan Africa has grown by 2,200% since the 1960s. Unsurprisingly, more than half of the world’s slum population is now concentrated in the region. For this study, I carried out 4.5 months of immersive fieldwork in Mukuru, a slum community in Nairobi, to explore how its residents achieved the seemingly remarkable feat of getting by economically.
Unable or unwilling to bribe their way into an oppressive labour market, most residents eked out a livelihood by maintaining informal micro-enterprises. Such was the widespread economic reliance on micro-enterprises, the challenge during fieldwork lay not in finding cases worthy of study, but on concentrating on a manageable number of cases. This photo communicates this and more: note the co-existence of pressing necessity (women carrying fruit produce to sell, moto-taxi and handcart operators) with creativity (an informal herbal clinic), expertise (tailors and iron-workers) and aspiration (“Mutongoi Villas Show Room”).
An image created through averaging a stack of between 100 and 200 shots. I used the Ultra Intervalometer script, thanks to CHDK, on my Canon a590is. I then stacked these images in a nice little program called Picolay: translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http... I edited colours, contrast, brightness etc. in Photoshop CS3.
I really like the way the waves turned out in this one.

AMTK 4 leading the average Amtrak Train 58, the northbound City of New Orleans through downtown Brookhaven, Mississippi as it approaches the station on a quiet Monday evening, March 14, 2022 at 4:14 PM CDT.
Today I was out with Rod Simmons and Navin Huddle and it was a long slow day of nothing, this was our first train of the day, and it also looks like Amtrak is still running the two City of New Orleans trains on a tri-weekly basis.
Amtrak Train 58 (northbound) runs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, whereas Train 59 (southbound) runs on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Soil profile: A soil profile of Marbleyard very cobbly sandy loam. Rock fragment content averages 35 percent or more in the subsoil. (Soil Survey of Rockbridge County, Virginia; by Mary Ellen Cook, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
Landscape: An example of Marbleyard-Sherando-Rock outcrop complex, 55 to 80 percent slopes, extremely stony. This unit is mapped in the Antietam Formation in woodland with dominant trees of chestnut oak, scarlet oak, Virginia pine, pitch pine and table mountain pine.
The Marbleyard series consists of moderately deep, well drained or somewhat excessively drained soils formed in material weathered from low-grade metasedimentary quartzite and metasandstone. Slopes are dominantly between 35 and 80 percent but range from 3 to 95 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, siliceous, semiactive, mesic Typic Dystrudepts
Solum thickness and depth to bedrock range from 20 to 40 inches. Rock fragments, dominantly quartzite and metasandstone, range from 15 to 60 percent in the A, E, BE or BA horizons, 20 to 75 percent in the Bw horizon and 50 to 90 percent in the C horizon. Weighted average rock fragment content is 35 percent or more in the particle-size control section. Average clay content typically is between 6 to 15 percent but ranges up to 18 percent in the particle-size control section.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most Marbleyard soils are in forests of mixed oaks, mainly Chestnut Oak, Scarlet Oak, Blackjack Oak, and Pitch Pine, Virginia Pine, and Table Mountain Pine.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Areas of Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee within MLRA 130. The series is of moderate extent. Marbleyard soils replace areas within MLRA 130 previously mapped as Dekalb. The CEC activity class is semiactive, but includes some areas of active.

The 48th Annual
Renaissance Pleasure Faire And Artisans Market
Saturdays and Sundays
April 10th through May 23rd, 2010
Visit a simpler time this year - a vibrant, whimsical place where all that is asked of you is to Eat, Drynke and Be Merrie. Come to the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire, one of Southern California’s favorite springtime events, and let us fill your day with magic and mirth. Celebrating its 48th year, the portal to fun will open April 10th and run weekends only through May 23rd, on twenty gorgeous acres of the beautiful, shady Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area in Irwindale, CA. The Faire, open 10AM to 7PM, gives the public a chance to step back in time to a land Where Fantasy Rules!
Hand over your ticket at the front gate and step through the towering ship that delivers you to the bustling town of Port Deptford, England, as it might have appeared during the late 1500’s under the glorious reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Stroll through the colorful commotion and meet a wide variety of townsfolke, from mischievous Privateers to hard working Fish Mongers, preaching Puritans to fabulous Fools. Trained artisans have brought their finest crafts to entice your sense of beauty and skilled cooks will tantalize your taste buds. Everyone is doing their best to impress, as the Queen, herself, is scheduled to visit accompanied by her dazzling entourage of courtiers. Even the likes of Captain Sir Francis Drake and the bard William Shakespeare have come to speak with the Queen.
As ships of old brought the world to the real Port Deptford, Entertainment Director Maggie Soboil has been bringing international acts to the Faire’s thirteen stages, all to recreate the variety of exotic flavors of performance that could be seen in a port town. A plethora of dance styles, including, Thai, Indian, Celtic, and Tribal Bellydance entreat your eyes while a sympony of music from Italy, Spain, and the Celtic lands soothe your soul. Italian Commedia shares stages with Shakespearean tales. Suspended Reality brings the ethereal beauty of Aerial Ballet from places only faeries have seen. Our Drake’s Hinde Stage has become the new home to a pair of comedic duos: The dirty laundry of the Washing Well Wenches and the daring knife throwing of the Van Kleaver Brothers. Of course, fine English dance, music and entertainment is always present, and this year marks the dashing return of the heroic sword stylings of the Manly Men in Tights after a 10 year hiatus.
Begun in 1962 in Agoura, near Malibu, to create “living history” for schoolchildren and their families, the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire has grown into an annual interactive playground and gallery for over 200,000 participants and guests. It has given birth to an industry nationwide and this year is more fun and exciting than ever.
Since its inception more than 5 million people from around the world have visited Southern California’s Renaissance Pleasure Faire, averaging approximately 20,000 each weekend.
The site of the event, the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area in Irwindale, is a beautiful park and a perfect location for the Faire, right on the lake with many trees, river stone shade pavilions, and abundant parking.
Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area, a United States Army Corp of Engineers’ Facility and a unit of the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation System, is located off the Irwindale exit off the 210 Freeway, just east of where the 210 and 605 freeways cross.
