Sandhill Cranes - How fortunate you are. I would love to see a flock of those guys fly over.

That is truly sad about the junco. Still no junco's here yet.

We sometimes see the eastern bluebird roost in bluebird boxes. Though, we have also seen where several roosted together in a box and must have smothered the one/ones on the bottom.

I woke to a flock of what I think were white egrets (first 3 pictures). Not the best of pictures. It was really early and I was half asleep. They were so fascinating for a brief while. They acted like they didn't know quite what they wanted to do. Then they soared here and there, went back to the tree, then kind of circled over and went on their way SW.

#4 photo - not sure what it is, but I was at the hydrant getting water and I was probably somewhat hidden and this little guy kept flitting about. Not the best of pictures - and I'm not sure what it is. Looks to have a ring around the eye and a very pointed beak. Any thoughts? I know, not the best of pictues. It was awfully busy and I was trying to stay hidden.

#5 Then there is the usual Canadian Geese that just kind of hang out here at the pond. These geese are more domestic than ones that fly high and migrate.
