Tuffy Titmouse
Dear Friends, home bound for the day so I camped on my couch and watched the birdies at my bird feeder. This tufted titmouse was flying in and out, I think this is my best shot, what do you think, til Tomorrow MJ
Overgrown
Dear Friends, not sure I like this but lots of old buildings in our area, this one has now collapsed totally, but the forest is taking over, just the red paint survives, til Tomorrow MJ
The Dancers
Dear Friends, in the fall, the Sandhill Cranes do lots of dancing, probably practicing and teaching the youngsters how to celebrate, this is my favorite from this past fall, til Tomorrow MJ
Eagle Moon
Dear Friends, this eagle was very cooperative and so was the moon, the temps were below zero this morning so his feathers are fluffed to retain the body heat. til Tomorrow MJ
Snow and Ice -What’s to Like
Dear Friends, these cranes get a little cranky when they step on the ice and it dumps them into the cold water. they are slowly living the area, til Tomorrow MJ
Crane Explosion
Dear Friends, found the cranes on a cornfield and abruptly at 4pm, they all left in a huge explosion of wings and calling. The air was full (for a moment), then I was left all alone on the roadside. Tomorrow when deer hunting opens,, they will probably leave the country for the south land. til Tomorrow MJ
A Sunset Cruise
Dear Friends, these sandhill cranes are cruising into their evening roost site on Phantom Lake in Crex Meadows. The sunset was glorious on Tuesday evening and I stopped for awhile to enjoy the view, til Tomorrow MJ
A Crane Hug
Dear Friends, sending you a crane hug this morning, I love the flying cranes against a clear blue sky, til Tomorrow MJ
My Supermoon shot
Dear Friends, my supermen would not be right if the cranes were not also shown, last night at about 5pm and the setting sun gave the moon an orange glow. I was watching the cranes and just happened to get this, the cranes and the moon are very far away, til Tomorrow MJ
Black and White Cranes
Dear Friends, these sandhill cranes were only ten feet from our vehicle and were busy rooting in the mud for seafood to eat. The mud is still clinging to their bills, now you see why they have long stout bills that don’t break when they hit a rock. Do you like black and white treatment? tilTomorrow MJ
