It's time to fly

Spread your wings.
It's time to fly.
Make the leap.
Own the sky.

Stork nests
 |
| Barruelo del Valle, (Valladolid - Castilla y León) Spain |
In all honesty, it is unusual not to see a stork nest on top of a church tower in Castilla y León! White storks make their nests with large sticks and use them for several years. They lay eggs once a year and can lay as many as four at a time, while curiously both parents incubate and feed the offspring. Nests range in size from 1-2 meters deep and 1-1.5 meters wide, weighing anywhere from 130-550 lbs (60-250 kg)!
I love hearing the sound of a stork. If you've never heard one before, it makes a loud clattering sound by rapidly opening and closing its beak.
