Glad you like the photo, Ava. I have known a cow to come and stand by the handpump...and I have pumped the water for her to drink. This bird believes in self-help, apparently. :) I have recently begun a new Mission on Strange Situations...do contribute photos that might fit into this category.

Your pictures look like the bird turned on the water to get a drink -- very amusing!
