For all the Sandlanders who are away and those that might still be around I can officially announce the un-official start of the summer season, the 'Love Bugs' have returned. Sanlan is looking awesome as the last vestiges of Spring fade away to the lazy, long sunny days of early summer. The myriad of dragonflies have returned and hover like some tiny secret weapon against the mosquito population.
The female Osprey has her daily routine in high gear, fishing the front lake everyday until she catches her nestlings breakfast. A Great Blue Heron seems annoyed at her constant diving over the water. The other day along the drive on Hwy 98 I was able to see the most fantastic sight. Apparently an Eagle had stolen a fish from the Osprey male and the Osprey kept dive bombing the Eagle trying in earnest to get the fish back, he succeeded in getting the Eagle to drop the fish. Wish I had a camera with me when it happened.
