Video opens with M15 arriving at the pond. He gets sips, wades, watches overhead, and then flies to the office oak to join F23 in the shade. M15 flies back down to the pond to bathe. M15 gets in his normal head dunks, body dunks, shoulder dips, and wing swishes. When done, M15 flaps up the bank, then to the grass, and flies over to the DSPS to dry (drive side pond snag). Additonal description in the tamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.
