4. I worked for The Audubon Nature Institute for 21 years.

We bred and raised these birds to be released and repopulate.
Thrilling to think this may be some hard work and planning and love for the species may be our babies.
We love them so much.
Fantastic photo and post.

6. You always know when they are approaching

They don't have a 'stealth' mode when they're flying!
