A wild Whooping Crane dancing - the colors on the top of the legs are transmitters that track their migration paths! Like how they chose colors to match its head! You can even see the antenna.
A few of my own textures were added!
Happy Sliders Sunday!

Late in February, sandhill cranes, the San Luis Valley’s oldest visitors, begin their annual trek from south to north, stopping off near the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge to load up on fuel. For millions of years, the sandhills have been spending their "Spring Break" in Colorado’s Valley of the Cranes and more recently, wildlife watchers have been drawn to wonder at this phenomenal natural spectacle.

Seeing the Sandhill Cranes at Bosque del Apache in New Mexico was high on my bucket list. So, I marked it off in November 2017.
Photographed at Zoo Boise, this crane was cleaning himself and paused only momentarily enabling me to capture this pose.

Cranes in the sunset. I might have hundreds (if not thousands) of pictures like these. Since these pictures, to me, do not provoke the same reaction as the experience while taking them, I probably did not succeed in doing these moments justice. ButI figured I might as well post them anyway, since I like them as a memory.
