The Sandhill Cranes are starting to make our area more and more their home.  Three miles away is a slough they have found and grabbed as their own (although, they seem to be sharing very happily with some ducks)

I tried to take a decent video but….well, you see.  Still it gives you and idea of their calls.

This is a close-up!  Beautiful birds…but VERY SHY!

We have a few in the pastures at the upper end

And hiding in the harvested corn stalks!

Here they are getting ready to land in our corn field Terry harvested first!

Aren’t they beautiful?  Lucky, lucky Us!
