My camera couldn't get the massive swarming flock of about 500 into a single frame, and when i tried , they appeared too tiny to make the shot worth much...so i zoomed in. The sky was alive with their honking.. It was exciting ! They settled on a spot further up river.

SULLIVAN BALLOU'S LETTER
Love of country is not unique to Americans, but in a democracy, sending citizens to war requires far more than a dictator's fiat. In 1861, men on both sides of the conflict were willing to lay down their lives for what they believed to be right. Southerners fought for states' rights and a society built upon human slavery, which many considered the natural order of the universe. When the war started, few volunteers in the northern army marched off to end slavery, but many were ready to fight and die to preserve the Union.
One such soldier was Major Sullivan Ballou of the Second Regiment, Rhode Island Volunteers. Then thirty-two years old, Ballou had overcome his family's poverty to start a promising career as a lawyer. He and his wife Sarah wanted to build a better life for their two boys, Edgar and Willie. An ardent Republican and a devoted supporter of Abraham Lincoln, Ballou had volunteered in the spring of 1861, and on June 19 he and his men had left Providence for Washington, D.C.
This photo represents an excerpt from the letter to his wife from a camp just outside the nation's capital, and it is at once a passionate love letter as well as a profound meditation on the meaning of the Union. It caught national importance 129 years after he wrote it, when it was read on the widely watched television series, "The Civil War," produced by Ken Burns. The beauty of the language as well as the passion of the sentiments touched the popular imagination, and brought home to Americans once again what defense of democracy entailed.
Ballou wrote the letter July 14, while awaiting orders that would take him to Manassas, where he and twenty-seven of his men would die one week later at the Battle of Bull Run.

Montcalm and Wicker Sts., Ticonderoga, New York USA • Liberty Monument is a historic monument located at Ticonderoga in Essex County, New York. It was built in 1924 and is a bronze sculpture on a tiered granite base. The lower part of the sculpture is composed of four live-sized figures of a Native American, Frenchman, Englishman, and an American. They symbolize the four groups whose military exploits are part of Ticonderoga's past. The second part is the [prolific] artist Charles Keck's (1875-1951) interpretation of Liberty.
It was built and donated by philanthropist Horace Augustus Moses. Born in Ticonderoga, Moses became wealthy building and acquiring a number of paper mills that he combined to form the Strathmore Paper Company. As his wealth grew, he made a series of substantial donations to many Ticonderoga projects, among which were the Valley View Cemetery Chapel, Liberty Monument, the Moses-Ludington Hospital, the Community Building, and the Hancock House; with the last of these, he accomplished an early lifetime ambition— to establish a museum with a library that would make Ticonderoga a focal point for public interest in the region's history. – from Wikipedia entry. ∆ The monument was cast by Roman Bronze Works N.Y.
☞ Liberty Monument was added to the National Register of Historic Places (#89002014), on November 16, 1989.
Saprai che non t'amo e che t'amo
perché la vita è in due maniere,
la parola è un'ala del silenzio,
il fuoco ha una metà di freddo.
Io t'amo per cominciare ad amarti,
per ricominciare l'infinito,
per non cessare d'amarti mai:
per questo non t'amo ancora.
T'amo e non t'amo come se avessi
nelle mie mani le chiavi della gioia
e un incerto destino sventurato.
Il mio amore ha due vite per amarti.
Per questo t'amo quando non t'amo
e per questo t'amo quando t'amo.
(P. Neruda)
