Sandhill Cranes...

On New Year's day we went to Goose Pond looking for Sandhill cranes and found a bunch!

This shot looks better if you click on it to make it larger.

We got there kind of late in the afternoon and were fighting the sun in our eyes the whole time, but managed to get a few focused shots.

 Mike took this one

 I love watching the land

 ....and take off.

I hope to go back before they migrate for another try.
