She stayed today through 1 or 1:30, and then retreated for the day, so a 
few people didn't get to see her.  I've posted some videos on the website:

1 Slow motion with Windows Media Player, 5 mb file

There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of 
birds.  There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of 
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.
