Preparing for Migration

Tonight we drove out a short distance from B's house, where everything is wide open farm land. There we drove on a gravel road to a small parking area that overlooked a pond. Lots of geese and ducks, and once the sun went down, a huge amount of Sandhill Cranes!  They flew in at sunset in small flocks of anywhere from five to twenty birds, some of them landing at the edge of the pond, and others continuing on to places unknown, but oh! We estimated around 150 birds at the pond; I’ve never seen so many in one place at one time!  I got some amazing shots of the cranes flying in against the beautiful colors of the sunset; it was something I will never forget as long as I live.
