Sandhill Cranes

The Cranes are here!





The fog was very cool this morning. Made for some good even lighting for most of the morning. Looks like the crane on the left was digging in the mud.





The warm moist air was creating quite a bit of steam near the ground where it was cold.








Cottonwoods are always cool.





Red Tailed Hawk.














You'll probably see some of these photos on POD in the next few days.

Wow, I love the hawk photos. Reminds me of my "uncle's" hawk. It is incredible how fast people comment on these posts! Less than an hour ago it was live, and it already has three comments!

Great nature pictures, as usual!!!  I love the cranes - other than the robin, they're the first sign of spring!!!! And, the hawk taking off is beautiful.  (what's POD?)

Who is this 'Milkwood'? And is his friend 'Photo Baggins'? This requires research... Sounds like a LOTR geek, eh?
