Cranes, with music

[Tom Wilberding]

Hello, birders.

Here are 21 photos of Sandhill Cranes from Bosque del Apache, Lewellen, and Monte Vista.

From page 1 of Peter Matthiessen’s book, The Birds of Heaven, about the 15 species of cranes:
“The immortal cranes call, their cries sound from afar, their thoughts circle upward into distant skies. Below stands a man, above him the bright moon. The man wanders aimlessly, trailing after the Milky Way. The wind blows past him. I, too, think the man would like to be utterly free.” --Jiang Yi Ning,
