Everyone is here, but the stork miscellany are missing. Maybe off picking something tasty out of an alligator's grill. Egret/heron/sandhill crane/spoonbill--I have not learned to distinguish them in their storkyness, but they all clomp around the pond with the Muscovys (which are the true pigeons of suburban waterways, a kind of turkey vulture duck), and the geese couple who sound like gears being cranked across the wet, dark night of the pond.
