6:45 PM yesterday a pair circled the martin house twice and landed into the wind. The female preened while the male stuck his head inside and checked out a cavity. Spotted an Osprey from the supper table last night, another sighting near dark. There was a coot setting in the middle of the parking lot in the dark this morning, downtown Lexington. When my headlights hit him, he flew right at me. I thought it was under the car, so I got out. the flashlight beam spotted him behind the vehicle some 30 feet and again it flew right at the light. I could have touched it as it came by. The heavy beam followed the flight over the fence, across the tracks and over the top of a nearby warehouse into the dark. Scott Marsh Lexington
