Jeffrey Snider snapped this osprey mid-flight carrying its dinner over Metzger Marsh. Osprey talons are more rounded than most other birds of prey, allowing for quick and efficient catches. Their outer toes are also reversible, just like owls! #Ohio #bird #nature08 May 2026 21:30 +0000at://did:plc:657kftv2m7vu3q46guqltamn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mleoi3j4fy2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/dansmithweather.bsky.social/post/3mlejnlkfc32vHeads up: We're watching for a few storms to fire up Saturday afternoon/evening along a cold front. Temps in the low-70s and a decent amount of energy will allow a broken line of cells to form, with some 50+ mph gusts and hail up to 1" possible (current window 2pm-10pm). #Ohio #Michigan #storm08 May 2026 20:04 +0000at://did:plc:657kftv2m7vu3q46guqltamn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlejnlkfc32vhttps://bsky.app/profile/dansmithweather.bsky.social/post/3mldynpgskb2rA tranquil scene from Pearson Metropark, as we started off this week under plenty of sun. 📸: Leanna Neshkoff #Ohio #nature08 May 2026 15:00 +0000at://did:plc:657kftv2m7vu3q46guqltamn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mldynpgskb2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/dansmithweather.bsky.social/post/3mldlaqp3wv27This groundhog is decidedly not "grounded"!
