I know not everyone here is a bird fan, but thought I'd share with you all anyway. I'll be going out a few times, and will get some good photo practice. Even if you aren't a birder...the sight of these thousnads of cranes doing their dances, and singing their songs... it's just magical. Cheers!

Thanks for the tip on the crane cam. I LOVE the sound of cranes! Now that National Geographics's web cam at Pete's Pond is off, the crane cam will be the next best thing!

You're welcome~ ! I love their sounds, too!

They strut through my backyard fairly frequently. Beautiful birds.

William Bartram called the sound "sonorous trumpeting."

Thanks cooncat,

I vow to visit those sandhill cranes some Spring! If it means curtailing an Africa trip to do it, so be it!

Give me a call when you do!

Will do!
