Mr. & Mrs. Crane discussing the political opinions they're reading on The Coffee Corner.

I like it apart from the distracting top. Ken

One can only hope you're not serious, Ken.

Golden hour birds. ... It looks like they were posing for you.

It was the crack of dawn, Bob, and you're right: they were posing. I made a series of shots, two with them squawking like this. These guys hang around here and they're not at all worried about humans. When I saw the results on my computer I was reminded of the stuff I've read in The Coffee Corner. I think the birds are expressing an appropriate response.

I love the cranes, herons, and wood storks that frequent the canal behind our house. I often see flocks of parrots on the power lines. They are real squawkers. ... The toads and slugs I can do without. ... Nice photo, BTW.

I suspect their comments are more intelligent than most of the ones in the Coffee Corner.

There's no doubt at all about that, Eric.
