Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - TGIF!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - TGIF - Friday Party!

It was quite the hopping party at the lagoon around happy hour toady and into early evening. A couple of dolphin came in at mach speed chasing fish. Huge fish zoomed past me trying to escape the dolphin who grabbed the other fish just a few feet away.

Schools of fish were flying out of the water even when the dolphin were not around. At one point, Skylar, the resident osprey started screaming like her feathers were on fire. A minute later she passed in front of me to confront an an osprey with a fish, who entered her territory. The entire she time she was flying she was screeching like nails on a chalk board. I’m pretty sure she was yelling, “Get off my lawn!”

A high speed chase ensued for several minutes! They were bumping into each other in the air, diving, they pulling up like fighter jets, over and over. It was obvious the intruder was strong and an adept flyer, holding onto the fish with just one claw during the entire chase. After several minutes the chase took them away from the may area, so I couldn’t see how it ended. When Skylar returned, she flew over my head and looked quite proud of herself.

Stay tuned for more tales!
