Now I know they're really pets. They're wagging their tails (and wings) at your approach!

Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Nicely done, Doug. I skipped going down this for the first time and several years.

Thanks, Bill! It was cold & drizzly up until Sunday afternoon, when, on the way back home, we stopped near the 'Big Tree' & caught this pair circling.

Hi Mike...

Sweet shot. I really like the water droplets off the beak and nearing the water.
