Sandhill Crane Tries Moving Hay-Bale

Our local, beaver island celebrities -- a small group of sandhill cranes. My SIL and I were out looking for them and they were most cooperative as they wandered around the bales of hay, then took off right in front of us.

Wonderful that you caught him in flight. We had sandhill cranes in Florida, and I always wondered where the ones who migrated spent their summers. Some of ours seemed to stay all year.
