Where the Osprey Flies by Warren Cederborg Pdf

From the author of Sacred Ground comes an inspirational story of the Northwest. Amid murder trials and seductive pitfalls, Clayton Bettencourt takes his brief marriage for granted while his wife fends off the gloom of a sorrowful existence. Smug in overblown virility and tenuous celebrity, Clayton is the toast of a major Seattle newspaper. Opposed to the flashy crime writer, his faithful wife Kara labors in obscurity and spousal neglect while strapped with the responsibility of caring for her aging grandmother. As Clayton discovers his humanity in the analogous lives of an admirable old man and a weary raptor, Kara wards off the oppressive demons of low self-esteem. A tribute to a golden generation and a vibrant account of faith, hope and preservation, Where the Osprey Flies examines the extremes of self-absorption and human understanding while exploring the limits of wilderness, in the natural world as well as the soul.

The Osprey Fly Box by Peter Caverhill,Phil Rowley,Danie Erasmus,Osprey of British Columbia Pdf

The Osprey Fly Fishers of British Columbia is the second oldest fly fishing club in the province. The club was established in 1969 and was one of the founding clubs of the BC Federation of Fly Fishers. The club has a storied history and has had numerous members who have made significant contributions to the fly fishing community on conservation and environmental issues. Other members are published authors in various print media, sharing their knowledge with the fly fishing community at large. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the club, the decision was made to create a book of fly patterns celebrating the history of the Osprey Fly Fishers - a book featuring patterns that were originated by members of the Osprey Fly Fishers of BC and the consensus picks of the membership at large across numerous groups of flies. Project Manager and Chief Editor, Sandy McKinlay, surveyed club members asking for their "go to flies" across a broad range of groups of flies and then narrowed the list down to a "short list" of flies for each group. Many of these patterns have been around for decades. Others will have been developed within the past decade and may be relatively unknown outside of South Western British Columbia. Sandy then enlisted a member of the Ospreys - including published authors Phil Rowley, Peter Caverhill and Danie Erasmus - to share their knowledge of how to fish a specific group of flies.Each fly was professionally photographed "on location" - from the shore of a lake, along a river, on a dock or at the sea shore. The detail is incredible, the photography - spectacular!The Osprey Fly Box will be a valuable reference guide for anyone fishing the waters of the Pacific Northwest - be it stillwaters, rivers and streams or saltwater beaches. There are six chapters for stillwaters, three for rivers and streams, and one each for cutthroat, steelhead, freshwater salmon and saltwater salmon. In total, over 125 flies are presented with detailed recipes.

Wild Wings by Gill Lewis Pdf

This “vividly imagined and well-written novel” (Booklist, starred review) tells a gripping story about a boy from Scotland and a girl from West Africa who join together to save a migrating Osprey—and end up saving each other. When Callum spots crazy Iona McNair on his family’s sprawling property, she’s catching a fish with her bare hands. She won’t share the fish, but does share something else: a secret. She’s discovered a rare endangered bird, an Osprey, and it’s clear to both her and Callum that if anyone finds out about the bird, it, and its species, is likely doomed. Poachers, egg thieves, and wild weather are just some of the threats, so Iona and Callum vow to keep track of the bird and check her migratory progress using the code a preservationist tagged on her ankle, no matter what. But when one of them can no longer keep the promise, it’s up to the other to do it for them both. No matter what. Set against the dramatic landscapes of Scotland and West Africa, this is a story of unlikely friendships, the wonders of the wild—and the everyday leaps of faith that set our souls to flight.

The Dream Machine by Richard Whittle Pdf

WHEN THE MARINES decided to buy a helicopter-airplane hybrid “tiltrotor” called the V-22 Osprey, they saw it as their dream machine. The tiltrotor was the aviation equivalent of finding the Northwest Passage: an aircraft able to take off, land, and hover with the agility of a helicopter yet fly as fast and as far as an airplane. Many predicted it would reshape civilian aviation. The Marines saw it as key to their very survival. By 2000, the Osprey was nine years late and billions over budget, bedeviled by technological hurdles, business rivalries, and an epic political battle over whether to build it at all. Opponents called it one of the worst boondoggles in Pentagon history. The Marines were eager to put it into service anyway. Then two crashes killed twenty- three Marines. They still refused to abandon the Osprey, even after the Corps’ own proud reputation was tarnished by a national scandal over accusations that a commander had ordered subordinates to lie about the aircraft’s problems. Based on in-depth research and hundreds of interviews, The Dream Machine recounts the Marines’ quarter-century struggle to get the Osprey into combat. Whittle takes the reader from the halls of the Pentagon and Congress to the war zone of Iraq, from the engineer’s drafting table to the cockpits of the civilian and Marine pilots who risked their lives flying the Osprey—and sometimes lost them. He reveals the methods, motives, and obsessions of those who designed, sold, bought, flew, and fought for the tiltrotor. These stories, including never before published eyewitness accounts of the crashes that made the Osprey notorious, not only chronicle an extraordinary chapter in Marine Corps history, but also provide a fascinating look at a machine that could still revolutionize air travel.
