It’s 3:40 am and I just woke up and remembered I had Dawn Chorus duty this morning. So I'm putting up a quick diary that you're welcome to use as an open thread as I go back to bed to return at a decent hour.
Here in Northern California, the Sandhill Cranes have returned like clockwork. Next weekend is the 22nd Annual Sandhill Crane Festival in Lodi, CA. If you're in the area, you may want to consider making the trek. Details here: www.cranefestival.com/…
Some photos I’ve taken of the gorgeous cranes follow and I encourage you to add your own. Talk amongst yourselves and I’ll be back in a few hours.
