Taken from my balconey

an egret



a swallow

Time for mainteinence before take off



Btw in a semi-related Q:
Does anyone know if geese commonly adopt the goslings of other mated pairs? Saw a mated pair with 14 or 15 young in tow. Figure that is either one amazingly fertile goose or she and her mate kidnapped someone else's young.
