    Very cool you came across one 'off web'. My finds were always as seen in your other image, showing off their trapeze skills! Posted 5 years ago

      It was a neat find! There were several on the tree and on the fence next to it. At least 4, anyway. Must be a popular spot for some reason. Posted 5 years ago
