Another wonderful benefit of travel, particularly in the wilds, is the opportunity to spot and observe animals and birds in their natural habitat. It fills one with wonder and delight as one watches the behavior of these creatures toward each other and the environment. It's remarkable how much more meaningful life becomes as one tries to understand, learns, and absorbs the action occurring in the immediate vicinity and surrounds. Suddenly, resting in an attractive place, whether alongside a body of water, on a mountain or behind a tree becomes so much more meaningful as one observes the behavior, in this case birds, while they go about their daily routines.

What's the big flap about, Mother Goose?
A rather attractive specimen, a female I trust.
Some of the 'ladies' pass by the troops with fluttering eyes.
Not the most inspiring lift-off.
Looks like the need for another category of special minority privileges.
"Hey guys, have you seen my sunglasses?"
Sometimes, it's just too heavy to hold erect.
