How amazing to see so many and different ones. The closeup head of the crane is amazing, its beak looks rather worn and it looks very carnivorous with it's beak like a sword. It's interesting to find out the difference between the cranes as well, I think the Sandhill cranes came through here but I didn't manage to go see them.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-56220259189122383152015-01-14T09:09:17.957-07:002015-01-14T09:09:17.957-07:00Wonderful creative post, Chris!

I love your meadowlark photos- such a pretty little bird.
