   They stay in the North I believe, when our Brolgas Dance I find them just as enchanting.

   Lovely capture… we have three cranes in South Africa… all three so difficult to take photos of… very shy….

   Beautiful colors. Are these the cranes that were almost extinct?

      Thanks Bob. This breed of cranes are cousins to the ones that are endangered… can’t think of their name but have seen a couple after their migration south.

      Good for me they are quite tame and move very slowly 🙂

   These migrate through Nebraska every Spring…it is amazing to see thousands of them on the river banks and in the corn fields! Awesome capture!

    Hi!
    He’s a very handsome fellow. We have a few of those around here. They visit our park pond once in awhile. Have a great day!
