Chasing Osprey Down Hwy 395...


Awhile back, as I was driving past the Mammoth Airport (yes, Mammoth actually does have an airport!) I saw two strange flying machines...no camera...just my Droid phone...which I dug out of my purse while racing to follow this strange machine...
Finally, I got it, shot it, and continued on my way while they flew off over the mountains...
Well....it is actually a picture of the Osprey...if you look verrrrry carefully at the end of the road and slightly above the mountain, you'll see what looks like dust on my lens...nope...that really is an

Ok...so it's a bit far in the distance...no telephoto lens on my Droid...and if there is...I have nooooo idea how to do it!!!

Confirmed by Bennett Kessler on the Sierra Wave radio news broadcast...the two osprey were apparently being moved from one base to another, stopping at Mammoth airport for a short time!!!
