Sightings

While it was a crappy day of work today, there were a couple of interesting moments. At various times and locations while I was driving around I spotted 8 bald eagles, some in trees, some on ice which still mostly covers lakes here. Two of them were juveniles, sitting in the same tree as an adult.

Nearing home, the first pair of Sandhill Cranes of the season flew overhead. I spotted thjem as they were flying fairly low across a field heading towards the road. When they reached the road, they turned and followed it for about a few hundred feet, just in front of my car, and just high enough that had a semi passed they should have been safe from any turbulence it created, before again turning and heading off in their original direction of flight.

Almost made the day worthwhile.
