The first involved Osprey, which I’ve fallen in love with since I first saw them.
I was at a spot where I would regularly see them dive-bombing fish. Several were out circling overhead and one managed to catch a fish right in front of me. As it took off and flew right in front of me, he let out his typical Osprey call, which melts my heart every time I see it. I did end up getting a short video of this!
The second also happened last year, during a Blue Jay migration.
I was out for a bike ride along our waterfront trail (Lake Ontario), and I kept seeing Jays flying over head by the dozen. I began my ride really early that day, and even hours later, on my way back, more were flying overhead.
At one point, I just stopped to take some video and there were literally thousands of Jays flying over the trail - it was like straight out of a movie. I’ve never seen that many of the same bird moving in such large groups for such a sustained period of time. I don’t know where the hell they were going, but they were ALL going there! LOL
