Sandhill Cranes Feb. 10, 2007 Birchwood, TN

One of the best places to see the cranes is in this cattle feed lot! It is not far from the wildlife refuge. I'm sure the owner of the farm, who lives across the road, is probably glad when the tourists quit parking in front of his house when the birds leave! The cattle don't seem to care!

These two cranes show the shapes that the wings take as they fly.
