I will do more and a slideshow as soon as I can.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_twjVsg9p-90\/Se-xQkEqy1I\/AAAAAAAAMmM\/jhZUtkS51JY\/s1600-h\/IMG_1002.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[625]\" target=\"_blank\"><img style=\"MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 311px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327671782321867602\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Osprey dove for a fish and is coming back out of the river\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_twjVsg9p-90\/Se-xQkEqy1I\/AAAAAAAAMmM\/jhZUtkS51JY\/s400\/IMG_1002.JPG\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Check back soon to see if this osprey comes up with a fish! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jack and I float fished the Bitterroot a few days ago.
