They're Back!

The Sandhill Cranes have returned to Llano Seco!

We were so excited to see them exactly a year ago today from the first time we ever saw a Sandhill Crane!

 We were on the walking trail right as the sun came up at 7:15.
Because of the Sonoma fires blowing smoke our way (these photos were taken a week ago), there was a haze over the sun, casting it in a pink glow...

I love taking photos of cranes in flight because they are slow-moving and I can actually follow them with my camera!


It's nice to have a set date of when we can expect their arrival during their winter migration stop-over from up north...

 Safe travels, my friends!
