p.1 #1 · Sandhill Crane Portraits


Sometimes looking for files to delete off the old hard drive can be a good thing. I had forgotten about these from a year ago.

Thanks Ron, Chad, Harsha, Tim, Socrate, Lil, Scot and Doug. Found these on my laptop. Perhaps it's time to have a look at the ol' desktop computer downstairs as well....

These cranes are apparently not bothered by humans at all. In fact, I've witnessed people getting pecked by them. Last weekend I sat on a trail while 2 of them approached from 30 feet. They walked right past and didn't even bat an eye. In fact, I asked them to move back since I couldn't focus that close. They didn't listen but that was ok too. After a minute or so, I backed away to give them some peace and quiet. But what a treat to be so close to majestic birds such as these.

Thanks Dave, sometimes it all comes together. And I didn't even get pecked.
