    Rest and be thankful

    These guys stop over on migration every year, Nov-Dec, and appear on the same roof every year. This is some of the crowd, more off feeding. Stay a couple of days to a week, then they're off again. First time I was aware of them was just a pic of random bird on the roof, but later was able to...
