The storks are back

This afternoon as I walked Grady through the field near our house, I saw 4 storks! It was the first time I've seen them this season. I'm not sure where they go during the winter, but they obviously summer in this area (we often see their nests on top of churches in the Alsace). They are beautiful birds, especially when they fly. They weren't flying this afternoon when I saw them, but rather grazing in the field, apparently looking for treats. One of them was so close to the walking path and didn't seemed phased at all by us walking by.
