Sandhill Cranes Are Back


 

In the early mornings it's still freezing cold but Sandhill Cranes are already at their spring home, the Bear River. Yesterday I saw two of them and listened to their loud calls that boomed across their wetland habitat. 

Soon the breeding season will start and Cranes will perform their elegant courtship dances.  These dances are unforgettable!








I also was happy to see that day Double-crested Cormorants, a few Western Grebes ( surprise, surprise...) and Tundra Swans.  The Bear River slowly awakes from a long winter sleep.


Generally, life is good!

  1. The atmosphere comes to life. She will become more agitated as newcomers enter. Beautiful colors, reminiscent of autumn.

  4. Dos días faltan para la primavera y las aves no faltan a su cita, regresando a sus lugares de anidación. Seguro que en pocos días nos mostrarás esos elegantes bailes de cortejo de las grullas.
    Un abrazo y cuidate.
