Much to our surprise the big bird we spotted moving about in the cattails across the river was not a Heron but a fine looking Sandhill Crane. Well camouflaged and perhaps waiting for a meal to flow by.

Oh my goodness. Years since I saw one of these. What a treat!
We feel pretty luck to have these guys pass through each spring. Always a wonderful bird to see and a clear reminder to their prehistoric ancestors.
He’s so gorgeous. Nice photo.
They are very unique creatures for sure.
The sandy colors camouflage well in here, what a fine surprise this must have been for you. Wonderful photo.
HI Jet, yes a welcome surprise in the cattails that afternoon. Not what we expected to see so that made it just a bit more memorable. A surprise is alway a good thing.

Thanks.
