| Sandhill crane migration should soon be underway.... |
 | |
| This photo and the above were shot at Whitewater Draw in southern Arizona. A major sandhill wintering area, the day we shot these photos biologists estimated the flock at around 25,000...quite a sight. |
 |
| Gale's favorite bird (mine too), each spring she marks the date of our first sighting...last spring March 16th. These two arrived the year before in the Big Hole near Wisdom on her birthday...March 9th...As you can see the snow cover then was much different than this year...Will the cold and snow delay their arrival? That is a question we've been tossing around a lot lately...time I guess will tell? |
 |
| Early or late, before long sandhill music WILL jam the spring air waves...Their wild music combined with their even wilder mating displays are, for us, a delight, one we never tire off or fail to miss...Actually we can't think of a better way to shake a heavy dose of the shack nasties...Those of you haven't indulged give it a try it, hell, you never know... over and out... |
