These are sandhill cranes, notoriously hard to approach as they do not like people, they have excellent vision, and are very rarely alone. They are quite common around here in the summer months, and their return is an assurance that spring is not far behind. I heard the first ones of the season last week, so decided this would be a good image to post even though I took it in the autumn.
I anticipate hearing red-winged blackbirds in the next week or so as well...that is always a heart-warming sound to me even though there is usually another snowstorm right behind them. You take the bad with the good though, as one never shows up without the other.
