THE CRANES ARE BACK!
THE CRANES ARE BACK!
Our neighborhood nesting pair of Sandhill Cranes arrived today for the 13th consecutive year of bringing their brand of excitement to the neighborhood. This pair of said-to-mate-for-life Sandhill Cranes were exactly two weeks late in arriving this year, but we can't blame them, our backyard and their cattail marsh nesting grounds are still frozen up solid . . . but it shouldn't be long. If their history holds true, we'll see the usual one or two babies sometime around mid-May.
Here are three pics from today, just after their return and our getting reacquainted rendezvous:
