A Bonsai Day........... with Birds?

The weather was beautiful, the temps were much more comfortable, we were under fans and the pavilion,  beautiful trees were brought to work on and review from last month......

But......   there were gate crashers!    Last spring, I Blipped a family of cranes walking down the road......   Dad, Mom and 2 baby cranes.  The babies were fluff and scurrying around, trying to learn how to search for bugs in the ground.  They were fairly calm and let me get photos before they walked off into the forrest.

Today, I found out that family has picked the nursery to be their home.   They roam all around benches, walk up and down the sand driveway, swim in the pond at the bottom of the hill.   But most of all, they hang out at the front door of David and Lindas home.  David can walk within 3' of the birds when he goes in/out.  Linda is given a little more space, about 5'..
      Today the birds come up to the group under the pavilion, about 5-6' away from us.  There was only one fledgling, though.  The other baby disappeared about 6 weeks ago.  I went to the side of a car and got some pictures.  The birds wouldn't let me any closer and just sauntered on down the driveway.  The photos aren't the best, but the fledgling is adorable and Dad kept his eye on the kid........   This was a wonderful treat to a full and fun day.  Happy Bonsai!!!!
