November 16th, 2007

Above: Mist rises of the pond. The pen is beyond the stand of trees on the other side.

Below: As Brooke turns to get on course, a few of the birds lag behind.
Above: Carved bear stands sentinel and keeps me company as I wait for departure to happen.

Below: About now the tear ducts filled up. After all this time it is still impossible not to be moved by this sight.

Above: Brooke and the entire Class of 2007 suddenly rise from behind the trees and head in our direction.

Below: You can just see the two little dots on the left - as they fall farther behind. All were soon picked up by the chase trikes.

Thanks to Mike Briner for this shot of Brooke leading the birds in at the Muscatatuck NWR.
