Hi,
About a week ago my daughter came home from working at Hennigar's  
Farm Market in Greenwich and said that Mr Hennigar had seen an Osprey  
hunting gold fish in his pond. I wasn't sure I believed her, but I  
know that Doug Hennigar does know the birds.
Yesterday and today at about 4:30 p.m. I saw the osprey sitting on a  
tall dead birch stub on the east side of the pond beside his cook  
house, it doesn't seem to fear people as they walk on the path below  
the tree. The bird flies freely, swoops over the pond and the many  
mallards in the pond, and has been seen to catch some of the large  
goldfish that have populated this pond in recent years. Doug believes  
that people must have released some unwanted aquarium fish, but they  
have survived the past few winters.
The sighting of an osprey in this part of Kings County is unusual,  
and this close to such a busy area even more so.

George
