For the past month or so we've had some bird friends hanging around the lake. A lovely pair of Sandhill Cranes moved in and have been entertaining us. We love listening to them.
They usually keep their distance…especially with a certain hairy beast in the yard.
They appear to be having a chat.
This weekend they decided to venture into our yard for the first time. We were on our way to church, but the husband was able to snap a few pictures before he got too close for comfort. Thus the cranes made their exit.
Some fun facts for you. Mated pairs stay together. Also, they can live up to twenty years! That's a pretty long time! Hopefully our couple sticks around for a while!
