Morning walk at the lake

Tammy , Mum and Luke all out for our morning walk. Hope that you all enjoy it also.
Red winged blackbird. Such a sweet voice.

This is a butcher bird so named because they like to impale there prey on a thorn and go to eating. They have a bill similar to a hawk.


This is crane #2. She is also on her nest about 200 yards away from the first crane.








This is her mate about 10 feet away and guarding her,





This is a sandhill crane setting eggs. Her neck was stretched out and we thought she was dead but the eye moved and gave her away.
