Video opens with E23 flying out of the office oak, landing on the S bank of the pond. E23 gets sips and a foot soak, relaxing in the glow of the setting sun. E23 hops on a stick on the bank, carrying it, then leaving it to run along the shore. E23 stops to watch a pair of starlings bathe. With wings out, E23 runs/hops at the starlings, flushing them, then runs along the shore again. E23 investigates partially sunken branches, then perches on a cinder block and old drain pipe section. E23 flies to the DSPS, and is pestered by a shrike. Time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.
