Happy Landing!

I enjoy very much capturing birds in flight, and caught this Great White Egret just before it landed in Kirk Pond. They are so graceful in flight, not looking near so elegant on the ground. :) But all birds are so fascinating with their inborn skills for flying. No one has to teach them how to fly, like we humans must learn. And then our flying machines are not near so elegant in design nor so unerringly in flight, even on journeys of thousands of miles. The only conclusion we must come to then is that flying is for the birds, and they must be smarter than we are. If so, where did they get the wisdom? Love and wisdom can't be explained by humans' modern theories.
