By Ted Grussing … I captured this Osprey; he was beginning a major power stroke of his wings as he said good bye to us and moved on to a place he could hunt without interruptions from guys who pointed cameras with long lenses at him. The water levels were way down, as they are now … same number of fish in a substantially smaller body/volume of water makes for more fish per cubic foot of water and that means better hunting.

By Tommy Acosta Sedona AZ News –As I walked into the West Sedona Post Office, I was confronted by this sickly-looking woman. She was wearing a shabby grey coat too heavy for the day’s weather. She was older, holding a soiled green scarf to her face. She looked like the old Russian woman, they use on TV commercials to get us to send food and money. She was sick. Real sick. Eyes were lined with redness and puss at the corners. There was this sense of malaise about her. Her dark demeanor signaled pestilence. Standing four feet in front of…
