They Swoop, and Sing, and Dart Here and There — Thursday, March 25, 2021

Posted on March 25, 2021 by Dayphoto

The last of the Sandhill Cranes left us a day or so ago. Their calls loud and trilling in the air

A Harrier Hawk screams a loud and piercing whistle riding the airwaves in the sky

Oft-Times Smooth and silent

And THEN there is TONTO. Hospitality is NOT his middle name. 🙂

(Although, he is very pretty.)

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Linda

  You are most welcome. It’s terrible winter-like here. I’m so ready for settled Spring days.

Tonto needs a tiny pair of leather jackboots to goose-step around the yard in. He is the image of a tiny military dictator!
