Crowned Cranes

Hello to my blogger friends and especially to Eileen.  I was so thrilled to see this bird for the first time since moving to the farm more than two years ago. Ronnie had told me she sees these, a pair of Crowned Cranes, her favorite birds here on the farm. 

Two weeks ago I was walking my dog, Skabby and heard the Crowned Cranes calling. After I'd brought Skabby home, I grabbed my camera and walked up to the gate from where I could see the paddock. This, Ron assured me, was where they were most often seen. 

And sure enough...

Happy Saturday to you all!

  1. Hello, Jo! Your Crowned Cranes are so pretty. Lucky you to see them at the farm. I have only seen these cranes in a zoo. I much prefer seeing birds wild and free. Wonderful photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend. PS, thank you for the visit and for leaving me a comment.
