What a sweet little baby. We hear their call all the time at the campground but I haven't seen them yet.

Oh how nice that you could photograph a baby crane! I've never seen one, but this one looks so cute. the other night, I grabbed a quick shot of a large bird flying off in the distance. The photo did not come out so good, but it was definitely a crane of sorts. That's a first for me up in these parts.


Your doggie photos are just wonderful. Gosh, I'll bet Pogo would be thrilled to try something like this. I just don't know if his mom could handle the energy needed to get there and do it. These dogs all look so happy.

Now I really must get off the computer for a little while. The skies are making rumbling noises. You and Izzi have a fantastic day. Woofs and hugs, Pogo & Edna B.

I miss them and look forward to their calls and returns in winter.

Nice little fella! Our front yard "prairie" that used to be visited by Sandhills was turned into a park with manicured lawns while we were away. Bummer!
