Fabulous pics for this week. Yes, they have flown here for the winter. We have plenty to go around of the birds of prey and the geese. It doesn’t hurt that we are in the Eastern migration zone. 🙂

These are great captures! As Deborah noted, the first looks quite majestic. The second highlights the patterns of the feathers. The third one is striking sillouettes. Well done!

I’m not brave either, but the idea appeals always.

I think I’d try a hang glider before I risked life and limb in a squirrel suit!
