I got a visit from the sandhill cranes.

I was taking the baby on a stroller walk and saw a formation of sandhill cranes.

Tgis time they were flying low enough to get decent photos of them.

Usually you only see them as tiny dots up in the sky. They are quite loud though so you can hear them clearly.

They eventually find a prairie to pair up and have babies. In a month or so I might go out and see if any chicks have emerged.

Part of the reason I noticed the cranes was because I was taking photos of starlings nesting on my neighbor's building.

They might be the ones responsible for pecking this hole in the side of the building.

I'll be keeping an eye on them to see if any chicks are poking their heads out of the side of the building.

Here is a nice wild starling not punching holes into the sides of buildings.

Looks like this dead branch has helped raise many generations of starlings.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
