Birding about Waukesha County I came across a couple of Sandhill Cranes off the highway. They must have come in the last day or two. They moved around and seemed to find some food in a few spots where maybe frost was not in the ground. It was nice seeing them and they will probably be looking for a nesting place soon. It was a gloomy day but temps were mild in the 40’s. Images were taken on March 5, 2022.
The pair of Sandhill Cranes…
Preening…
Finding things to eat…
Some dirt on the bill from getting things to eat in the ground…
Excellent photos as always!
So glad they are back. Love your photos of them!
What a beautiful sign of spring. Thanks for sharing, Jim.
