The Sandhill Crane

I wanted to post a few more shots

 of the sandhill cranes

I spent about an hour watching

 and listening to them...

I was so surprised to see them

as it's still been so cold

and snowy here!

They are usually the last of the 

large migrating birds to 

pass back through this area.

When you see the Sandhills, usually

you know spring is here to stay.

However, now-a-days I think even the 

birds are confused!

I googled them and found 

that we are very near their

most important stopping point...

the Platte River. Over 450,000

of them migrate each year.

I watched and listened

and thought of all my

bird loving blog buddies!

I thought, "I can't wait to share 

this with the gang!"

Enjoy, my friends!

I'll take you on an adventure!
