Bahia Grande
The new wider bridge is taking shape for the North lanes. An island like has not been disturbed, which the shore birds like. Thousands of birds can be seen flying from their night's stay on the lake around sunrise every morning. Some do land on the island at the bridge.
What does Birds of a Feather mean ?

I thought it would be fun to post it here. There is an old expression "birds of a feather flock together," which is actually a part of an old nursery rhyme, and simply means that people and animals tend to hang around those who are similar to them. Conferences often offer or include sessions called Birds of a Feather (BOF) where a group of people get together to discuss an issue or topic that is common to them. Hmm...
