Our hot August night skies are seared with serendipity in this year of 2012.

Check our blog https://www.sonoranresorts.mx/?p=5682 for details on this. You don’t have to wait until the 31st to see a spectacular event in the August night sky, however.

Although identified by some taxonomists with the bird family of hawks (Falconiformes), Ospreys are quite different in their taxonomy; so different in fact, that they’ve been assigned their own species (Pandion Haliaetus).
