Yesterday (sat 11-28) Gene and I went out to see if we could find the
White-Throated Sparrows mentioned earlier in the day by Bob Flores
... while they remained hidden to us, I did get to observe two
Sandhill Cranes in a field ... one stood still while the other
"danced" ... Gene missed it all as he was turning the car around ...
so I had a private viewing ... by the time Gene got back the show was
over ...

I took about 20 pix ... the day was heavy overcast and lighting was
horrible but I'm going to show off an image anyways ... the fluid
motion of the birds is just a delight ...
