I took a friend to get her hair cut and as I was waiting for her I heard the calls of several Sandhill Cranes. When she was finished we drove toward the sounds I had heard and, sure enough, there was a pair right by the road. They were not at all happy that I stopped to take their pictures and started their loud "yodeling" in disgust ... you know they accuse women of being drama queens ... take a look at Mr. Sandhill ... ya think he was getting a little carried away :) This was a fun and unexpected capture ... hope you enjoy it.

fabulous photos and amazing the video one just imbedded like that - not a u-tube; wondering how you did that?
Oh my gosh....these photos of the cranes are stupendous. I especially like the very last one where the one on the right is looking right at the camera lens!!! Awesome.
Beautiful picture series you run.
Wishing you a good day :)
I am so glad I was there to see them strut their stuff! My favourites!! <3

Wonderful to see..
I love Sandhill Cranes and I especially love hearing their ancient calls!
Great birds to see. Lucky you.
What great birds - I'd love to see a Sandhill in the flesh (feather?)
I thought I’d let you know that I stepped into the void caused by Springmans decision to close down World Bird Wednesday by setting up Wild Bird Wednesday (!) on my photoblog at Paying Ready Attention – Photo Gallery.
