Ok, Ok, I got it wrong.  It's Macbeth, not Hamlet. :)   Many thanks to the ones who corrected me on that, it has been so long since I saw those plays that I forgot which one it was :)

To put it in context as to why it reminded me of Macbeth, because I wasn't quite clear last night.  The three storks were in a circle while they were feeding out in the middle of the pond.  They would spin all around the pond and when they got to the banks, they would go almost single file.  When you looked at it, it was kind of interesting.   I think that the lead bird would take point and scare up a fish out of the mud and if he/she didn't get it, the next one would be there to scoop it up.  I wasn't there long enough to see if they switched out but it was clear that there was a rhythm and a pattern to it.  And it looked as if one was dominate over the other two.  

It was a great day.
