Now that Spring is approaching working out here in "no man's land" becomes tolerable. During the wintertime it's like a frozen tundra. Anyway the weather today has been totally gorgeous and it's been the best day so far this year to appreciate the beauty of the campus. The waves have this special glisten to them as they rock their way to the shore. All the birds were out frolicking in the water and napping on the sand. The swans looked so peaceful napping in the sand and swimming in the sea. It was kinda funny one of the swans waddle his or her way out of the ocean and onto the sand, and all the sea gulls just flew out of it's way making loud gutteral noises. I guess I find it funny because the swans seem so peaceful to me. But I guess when you are gull and you've got this creature twice your size there it must be pretty scary.
The two types of birds are definetly very different to me. The swans seem very peaceful and for the most part seem to get along with each other. On the other hand the gulls seem to do nothing but fight and bicker with each other. And the swans even though the flock seems to stick together, within the flock though they keep to sets of two. The gulls don't do that within the flock they are scattered. I wonder if the swans mate for life, they seem to get along too well for a lifetime mate. Hee Hee Hee Aren't I funny? But in all seriousness they seem to get along pretty well. A couple of the swans were swimming together and drinking water. And it was just rather sweet. They seem to spend all their time together...and be able to get along...It seems weird most people assume that the more time two indivuals spend together the more they will fight... Maybe there's something that we can learn for the birds... It could be that's there is something to the expression it's all for the birds....
