I did a morning 50-mile ride, my longest so far this year. Beautiful here on the Cape, although it is now up in the mid-80s and getting more humid. One part of my route follows the shore and there is an osprey nest in a platform no more that 50 feet from the road. I stopped for awhile and watched the young-uns paractice flying in the nest. They are almost full-grown, but not quite fledged. They would sit on the edge of the nest flapping their wings, and one of them would do brief levitation "hops" Any day now they should be flying!
