The neighborhood pond has a more interesting variety of birds every day now. These little white cranes (?) are always there, and are very cute:


Yesterday, there was also this large grey boi, though, and some little black water birds with bright orange bills (you can’t see them that well, but they are right behind him):


When I got home from my walk, I did some work out on the back porch, and a huge hawk flew down right in front of me, and landed on the fence for a second before soaring off.
Birds!
