I see them in my pasture sometimes but they are very shy and never come near the feeders or the house. <br /><br />Last fall when the sandhill cranes went south, there were several whooping cranes with them. I'm hoping to see them this spring when they return. They sometimes stay in a wetland project a few miles north of my farm.<br />MarnieRoses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-90547141563886420392010-03-29T13:14:55.926-05:002010-03-29T13:14:55.926-05:00Dear Sherry......sadly I could not see any of your...Dear Sherry......sadly I could not see any of your lovely photographs....I have tried several times but no....<br /><br />I do hope you have a wonderful trip....safe journey and have fun.<br /><br />Best wishes always.....Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-52355615306130125422010-03-28T22:45:46.090-05:002010-03-28T22:45:46.090-05:00making that flicker your friend is such a great ho...making that flicker your friend is such a great honour and you are being rewarded. he is beautiful.<br />when i lived in fl. we had sandhill cranes wandering around our neighbourhood...we always got a big pleasure from seeing them...i hope you have a wonderful experience with the hundreds of thousands you will see. i can't wait for the photos.<br />have a great trip. happy springtime.marmeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622899170079254810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-25192241717065215022010-03-28T21:18:37.892-05:002010-03-28T21:18:37.892-05:00that flicker is an amazingly beautiful bird!
