I love watching large, graceful birds. There is a quiet strength in their size yet a gentleness in their beauty. In Michigan I was often entranced by herons as they silently strutted in the water fishing for their dinner. Here in New Zealand black swans inhabit the lakes. There is a stunning elegance to them as they float on a glassy lake. They were introduced to NZ from Australia as a game hunting bird. A black swan would be very rare in Michigan, yet I have not seen a single white swan here. I asked a friend about this one day and she responded "that's because the queen owns them all"!

Do you hear much about the queen? Are there holidays for her? Her birthday?
