I glanced into the yard and to what to my blood shot eyes did appear...no it wasn't a sleigh...but a Sand Hill Crane did I see. That's never happened before.

As usual I was not prepared...so I scrambled to get a camera and made some adjustments to the settings. I was in the kitchen at the time and leaned over the sink to get close to the window which hasn't been washed since last year.

Not stellar images but evidence that it was here.

Here is a report from Central Indiana. We are on a flyway from northern Indiana to Florida; my brother is in
Florida. We often see Cranes. In Florida, the cranes are like chickens in Indiana. As they passover Central Indiana, They squawk, squawk; the cranes in the back of the flight encourage those in front to keep on, keep on!!!

Great capture. My brother found one in his backyard in Minnesota forthe 1st time (thought it was a heron).

I got to see the winter home of approximately 25,000 of them in S.E. Arizona in February

Topaz Studio has a clean window slider? Cause your window is pretty clean compared to mine.

I live in Northwestern Pennsylvania and I've never seen one, either. I do agree, nice shots.
