The boat ramp is fifteen mintues from Yehaw Junction where SR 60 crosses the Florida Turnpike.  We enjoyed non-stop action with both birds in flight and with perched birds.  <\/p>\n<p>Jim has two opening on his Osprey Heaven Flight School workshop (May 20-24, 2010) that begins <strong><em>tomorrow<\/em><\/strong> at 1pm in Vero Beach. The cost is $1300.  As a special for BAA Bloggers he is offering each of these spots for a ridiculously low $800.  Or, sign on for single day or two for $350\/day.  There are both pontoon boat and land-based sessions each day.  If you can make it, contact Jim Neiger on his cell phone at 407-247-5200.  If he does not pick up, leave a message and keep trying as reception in the area is spotty at best.   If you would like to contact Jim through BAA please try us at 863-692-0906 or 863-221-2372.  <\/p>\n<p>As for me, I am headed back out on the lake this afternoon!<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ospreys in Cypress tree.
