Saturday on Fifth Avenue was full of excitment.  The “bench” counted at least eight copulations, of which I saw four.  It’s a fun time to down at the Model Boat Pond.  The copulations occured all over the place, with the pair putting on quite a show.

Lola would usually have been brooding by this time of year.  The late start might end up helping this year.  If the nest cradle was causing problems with heat loss, any later start date would be welcome.
