Elinor is the largest of the Comets (red and white) and has been the largest of the six for most of their lives. Right now she, Harriet and Lydia are about the same size, but Elinor has the biggest personality. She is the first to try something and usually the last to go to bed.
Tonight she flew up onto the gate and looked up into the maple tree, judging it for roosting worthiness. I let her look for a few seconds and then picked her up and put her back on the ground. She has been walking around their yard for several days now, looking up at the tree so I wasn't suprised.
Meanwhile Emma, who is beside Elinor in the photo, had trouble getting the spot she wanted on the roost tonight and it didn't help that Will and I laughed at her. She finally made it, but not without ruffling a few feathers.
