When I did the post with the cygnets, I watched the parents preening for a good 1/2 hour. Then the entire family proceeded to paddle through the dirtiest, murkiest part of the marsh. Amazing! I know they are preening to distribute oil in their feathers, but why dirty them again?
Continued Reflections from my World.
