Sandhill Cranes nesting

I found these Sandhill Cranes on the nest and was very happy to see the eggs. In the first photo they were trumpeting, then Mom tends the eggs and Dad works on the nest. It was fun thing to watch.

Thanks rlaugh! You are so right about them. They are very easy to photograph like that. This nest was in the middle of a marsh so I couldn't very close and of course would not have wanted to disturb them.
