I am not up on knowing the types of Birds, I know some one out there who can tell me what type of birds these are. Some are in the field and others are in their nests in he trees.

Sandhill Cranes are fascinating; we have a pair that comes back every year and stay with us all summer. Their call is sort of prehistoric, and this year for the first time I was able to actually catch the male dancing for the female.
It's hard to get close to them, so a good telephoto lens is a plus.

They look like prehistoric creatures, IMO, too. If you get where they roost overnight, you can photograph them "blasting off" just after sunrise:

And their dances are fun, too:

Thank you, your pictures are great. I sent a picture of the Motel that they were staying at, but somehow it didn't quite make it. I will try again.
