My favorite memory, ...Thanks for the spoonbill fix. My favorite memory, and one of my favorite images is of two males fighting over a stick. They sounded like fencers since they used their bills like weapons and also used them to block each other. So there was a lot of rattling and crashing sounds to go along with the visuals. <br /><br />Hope you'll be there to see the babies when they look like pink fluffy tennis balls. I'll go see them in April but I think it will be late April into late May before that happens.Marilyn Kircushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014565704792020948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-36780851106458878222014-03-29T23:53:18.919-05:002014-03-29T23:53:18.919-05:00Letting the pictures speak for themselves, pricele...Letting the pictures speak for themselves, priceless<br />Bob and Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128674200250063454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-71446180159297419332014-03-28T06:12:14.593-05:002014-03-28T06:12:14.593-05:00They are so beautiful!They are so beautiful!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-50197918829126684632014-03-27T11:10:02.851-05:002014-03-27T11:10:02.851-05:00Oh my gosh!
