Speaking of animals falling from the sky. My brother used to have a house o=
n a point of land near a conservation area out toward Lawrencetown Beach. T=
here were Osprey that nested out around his place. Occasionally, a large fi=
sh would be dropped on his lawn by an Osprey that lost its grip. He wouldn'=
t have minded that much, but he had a greenhouse attached to the side of his=
house and worried that it was only a matter of time before a fish fell thro=
ugh the glass. Fortunately, that never did happen. He barbecued a few of t=
he fish that fell from the sky though!
