Two Mute Swans dabble for good bits.

On this, Faye’s first free evening after 43? straight at work, we spent time on the deck. We derived a lot of pleasure from watching Turkey Vultures soaring, wheeling, checking. There are how many in sight?
It has been a good evening.

The Turkey Vultures will depart soon. I will enjoy watching them soar over our neighbourhood until they do.

While a Turkey Vulture may, close-up, have an appearance that only a mother can love, It is marvellously graceful in the air and truly pleasurable to watch.

Turkey vultures on the move, playing the wind.

This Live Oak tree epitomizes the word graceful. On a hot summer day, change one letter to describe the feeling of resting under its canopy.
Grateful.

During a recent trip to Windsor we took the scenic route, travelling on Highway 3. Route 3 rarely strays far from the Lake Erie shore. Since this is migrating season we were privileged to see hundreds of migrating Turkey Vultures including and this squadron of 17 individuals. What graceful birds, swooping, soaring, and riding the wind!
