I didn’t get to enjoy the cams much today...not much free time, but I enjoyed all the wonderful scaps and videos posted here. Oh, and even some lyrics thank you all. I was counting on you.

I did get a chance to see this and get scaps earlier and I get a laugh every time I see it, so I’ll share it.

Scap captured from SWFEC

Hi Nestfriend...I'm glad you stopped by and shared your fun scap with us!
That wind was sure blowing their feathers around today!
