August 28th: What a nice present for the end of summer - another encounter with the Osprey that has taken up residence along the Humber River. Ospreys are one of the great comeback stories of the last 50 years. They almost disappeared during the DDT decades, but when that pesticide was banned, they started to return, thanks to environmentalists in southern Ontario who built platforms for their nests. Their return also means the fish are worth eating. Things *can* get better.
