Beautiful Sandhill Crane

We were kayaking, I floated around a corner and this Crane stood up, opened it's wings, and started trilling at me. I was so close, I could feel the trilling on my chest. What a wonderful close encounter.

I just retired last December. There's nothing I love more than kayaking, or hiking with my wife Cathy, and taking pictures of all types of wildlife.
