I'm just catching up on the last couple of days. Glen, the Brolga does look like a Sandhill Crane! Here's a picture I took over the weekend of a Sandhill Crane couple and their baby. It's not great, but I was far away, looking through a fence and only had my cellphone. Usually, when I see the juveniles, they're older and much bigger. I was so excited to get a pic of such a young one, that I'm afraid quality was sacrificed.
Mika, that's a pretty good shot of the bat - they're hard to photograph and you caught him in flight!
Ann, I think Northern Cardinals are my favorite bird. I never get tired of seeing them
June, I'll bet your finches and blackbirds are very grateful for you.
How much longer will the snow last?
