Good news! Our favorite pair of Sandhill cranes has successfully hatched two colts again this year. They look to be just a few weeks old.

I’ve enjoyed watching these diligent parents raise babies over the past four years. Hoping to watch these two cute colts grow up strong like their siblings before them; with parents like these they’ve got a great head start.

it’s crazy how much diversity there can be in one species…these are all pictures of the same bird species (red-tailed hawk)

what they all have in common:

The look of annoyance and utter disdain at the human exposing their wing pit.

Yes.

YES I’ve been chased and hissed at by a Canada goose but it doesn’t make me hate them guess I’m just built different
