Jane Goodall observed one of her Gombé chimps, who would detach himself from his social group and ascend a small grassy elevation nearby to silently observe sunsets.
Carlos Santana had a great song with the title, Blues for Salvador. The refrain went: "Now that you know...what are you waiting for.". The birds are highly aware vehen they perch silently but what is it that stirs them into movement again?
Great shots Neil, Osprey always instill good productive feelings in us—whether diving for meals or just enjoying a nice morning. They always provide an ideal to aspire for.
As a difference from your Cooper’s hawks the Osprey is especially interesting. Those are almost the triumph for conservation that Bald Eagles are. Both have come back from the brink of extinction and we are much richer for that. I see ospreys and Bald Eagles often where I live and work near Washington. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center near Greenbelt, MD. The Center was carved out of the Beltsville National Agricultural Center and is a prime wildlife area, especially birds. Raptors love us.
Agreed John and the story of the revival of the Osprey is inspiring. I'm hoping to get some more images of Ospreys in the area. Hoping to share on the next few weeks
Thanks B2 and a great observation!
Thanks Wei Tam and much appreciated!

That's interesting about that Gombé chimp you mention Michael. I imagine that chimp was simply appreciating the beauty and connection of all things.
