Hi Tweets,

I don't want to make too much of this but while waiting at a bus-stop in
Richmond early this AM, I noticed an enormous bird silhouetted very high
overhead against the morning overcast in full soar interspersed with
occasional glides in a generally SW direction. Its flight profile--legs
trailing, head and neck extended, wings rather rounded but not so much as a
heron, and slow, rather deep wingbeat, did not fit any of the familiar birds
of that size: heron, either eagle species, crane, pelican.

Gee, I wonder (Stork?) what it could (Stork?) have been (Stork?), but as I
say (Stork?), I don't want (Stork?) to make too much (Stork?) of the
sighting (Stork?). '-)
