trip.<\/p>\n<p>I found some Snowy Egrets and got to watch 4 Ospreys fishing from rather close, which is always a treat. \u00a0These particular Osprey weren&#8217;t very successful, but they make a Hell of a splash when they hit the water.<\/p>\n<p>I spent quite a bit of time looking for migrants, but it was very windy and I didn&#8217;t have much luck.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30446\"
