I live in Lakeland,Florida. The symbol of our city is the swan. We have live swans living here that are descendants of a pair gifted to our city by Queen Elizabeth. Moving here and taking a chance on another relationship was for me buying those swans.

The crane spotted me and came steadily at me. I realized I was wearing a red cap. He thought I was a potential mate, or maybe a rival. They stand pretty tall! I backed away, and after a while he gave up. They'll be back in your neck of the woods...Elizabeth Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207536110886973913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873889619654138974.post-79726431944450024292018-12-20T21:07:33.324-05:002018-12-20T21:07:33.324-05:00Order my swans?

Err, far better to wait for spring when "our" two Sandhill Cranes return from wherever this pair of effetes winter (what, you can't deal with MN winters, hehehe?) and again seek to raise one or two chicks in the toughest ring known: nature. Seven years they've been our fair-weather, corn-eating friends. 2018 was the first year three flew south. <br /><br />Wild swans and snow geese - always a thrill here. But as neighbors, what a joy.Morgynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789636407148182196noreply@blogger.com
