This is what counts as a river in Arizona.



New River in Peoria, AZ. about 71/2 miles from my house.

I saw an epic battle this morning.

I was cruising along the bicycle path approaching the Glendale Recharge Ponds, when ahead and to my right I saw the Osprey just hauling ass, flapping his wings like the worlds largest humming bird.

As he did a power dive toward the top of a power pole, I realized that he was headed straight at a Bald Eagle. The Eagle spread his wings in defiance and stood his ground as the Osprey took a couple more bombing runs. Finally, the Eagle relented and headed to the next pole, where the Osprey resumed his attack.

Eventually, they headed out over the ponds and played “Snoopy and the Red Baron” for about a minute until the Eagle had had enough and departed for more tranquil skies.

To the Osprey, it was the avian equivalent of “get off my lawn”.

We had some rain up north, so the river almost looked like a river today.

Got a dusting of snow last night, most melted today.

Thank's! There's a pathway behind the house that goes over some "wetlands" (swamp) where that picture was taken.

I saw the bald eagle again today on the very same pole the osprey chased him from two weeks ago. It was a gray day and all I had was my cell phone.





This guy came over to give me the evil eye while I was taking pics of the eagle.



I'm sure he was just trying to be friendly. He hangs out with the Hindu Camel Cow so he's probably all like, "Peace, Bro", but I don't carry carrots and I still don't trust any animal that is bigger than me.

This little diner might just be the best kept secret in the county.

I suppose I should sometimes post in my own thread, but I really don't get out and go anywhere.
I do need to have a few words with my dogs... about what it actually means to be a dog....but I guess this is what happens when you neuter and spay.
