Sea Hawks the Birds You Gotta Love Them

 

At an undisclosed location in Okinawa, Japan these birds put on a show today.

Sea Hawks are also known as Fish Hawks, Fish Eagles

and Ospreys but, I don't call them that, anymore because that is like a cuss word in Okinawa.

The scientific name for these birds is Pandion haliaetus.

Just watching them fly is a blast.

They like to eat fish.  And, it doesn't matter if they are fresh or, saltwater fish.

So, you might see them performing their aerial acrobatics over the ocean, a lake, river, or pond.

Any place they can find fish to eat, you will spot them.

 Seeing one of these raptors when they spot a fish and dive is a big thrill.

 That didn't happen today, while I was there.

But, one of the reasons you gotta love these Sea Hawks is what this guy did.

He nabbed a dirty rat and put it out of circulation !

Dirty Rat Spammers (Photo) Rant

Dirty Rat Spammers are trying to ruin my blog. That's what I'm going to rant about today.  After recieving many emails from folks who tried to comment but couldn't, last night I went and changed my settings. Anyone could comment but, I still had to approve the comments. And they did.

Some witch named Kate from Affordable Coursework Help (dot) com and another dirty rat from Sagittarius Tatto Design (dot) com who was smart enough to not leave his name.

The two Dirty Rats just posted a sweet comment and pasted some advertising links on my blog.

Well, just by coincidence, I happened to notice a dead, dirty rat my Huskies caught violating their space this morning and snapped a shot of it with my cellular. So, here it is. It fits perfectly.

Now, I've become a fairly non-violent person in my old age and pretty much leave people around the world alone to their own doings. If they want to be dirty rats, that's their own business and just fine and dandy with me.

Spammers, who think they can just paste advertising links on a blog I'm trying to run ad free are DIRTY RATS and I really don't like to come here and post a RANT but, something needs to be done about this. It's a worldwide problem somebody needs to get under control.

To my blog readers, I'm sorry but, I had to crank the security back up again and will have to closely monitor all comments for approval until I can figure out a better way.  It's really a shame.

To me, it's just as much a crime as going around the neighborhood and painting an advertisement on someone's home.  I wish the problem could be solved as effectively as my Huskies handled it.

Like can't the United Nations, World Bank, G20 or somebody gather all the Dirty Rat Spammers up and dip them in Boiling Canola Oil or something?  Just long enough to make them stop !
