They were the final sign, that spring had finally arrived after a loooong winter!<br />I had a small rookery just down the street from where I lived in New England and a larger one a few miles away. Driving by there, when the rooks were hatching, was living driving into a prehistoric time warp! Sooooo cool!!!!<br /><br />Strangely enough (or not)the Great Blue Heron was the symbol of war for the Mohawk Indians. Greatly repected for thire patience and stealth. If the Mohawk could not ambush thier enemies, they would postpone the attack until the enemy could be surprised.<br /><br />Tghanks for adding, yet another, poet, to my list!Cyndi and Stumpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945219976457829612noreply@blogger.com
