The Feather Duster...

is still attached to the bird!!!

Quick stop at home as the birthday-fest continues. We had a great ride in a near-by state park, and several of these sandhill cranes were within petting distance. We know better than that, because they would cheerfully peck your eye out if they got spooked.

Here is the west end of an east-facing sandhill, very peacefully ignoring us silly humans as it munched it's lunch.

Here's some of the color we saw.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Sunday!
