A Gathering Of Cranes
Off Center & Not Even 
Great to see crane images! Thanks.
They are on the come back. Thanks, Susan.
Wow, you had quite the flocks on the wing circling your place, Tim. A most impressive image of the cranes with the cliffs in the background. And the groups of three, could these be family groups? The first group shot looks a bit like the bird to the right may be a immature one, or do only males have the bright red?
I don’t know about the red, but the groups of three I’m pretty sure are families. Thanks, Maj & Sher.
Nice post
Thanks, Rehoboth.
That is quite a large gathering in the distance shot. We don’t see these too often in our area, so it is very nice to see them here.
We get thousands of cranes in the wildlife preserves to the south like Bosque del Apache. They tend to gather in the hundreds up here. We will have more and I’ll be able to get a lot closer to them. Thanks, Bruce.
Tim, if that is the case I’ll look forward to seeing more photos of them down the road.🙂
I alwys post lots of crane photos in the wintertime.
The cranes are a beautiful sight, Tim. You have a special relationship with the mountains, river and bosque, and all the creatures within.
Thanks, Lavinia.
Love the cranes in front of the mountain. Those cranes fancy you.
Nah. They think il paparazzo is pesky. Thanks, Bruce.
These are all great and I particularly love the one with the cranes flying in front of the Sandias (at least I think it’s that!)
That’s exacitacally what it is. Thanks, Dale.
I am so proud of me 😉 It makes for a spectacular image, tell you what!
Red Sandias make a good background.
They do. Especially under your adept eye and camera skillz
Beautiful Tim 🤗
Thanks, Gabriela.
My pleasure 🌹
Beautiful pictures.
Thanks, Eunice.
You are welcome.
Wonderful work!
Thanks, Inge.
Beautiful
Thanks, Shey.
They’re back!!! Hard to stay away from such beauty! So good to see them.
They can’t seem to stay away. Thanks, Marina.
No wonder! 😉
Du Glücklicher. So herrliche Fotos!
Thanks, einfachtilda.
These photos are stunning! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of cranes. The ones I’ve seen around here have always been by themselves.
Are you seeing Great Blue Heron? They are always by themselves. Sandhill cranes are rarely alone.
That makes sense. They probably are Great Blue Heron. (I’m never close enough to get a good look.)
Stunning cranes’ post, Tim!
Just stopped by for some bamboo… hopefully yellowed.
I do have some bamboo in my Magic Trees folders, but I’ll try searching here for yellowed. Does bamboo turn yellow? xx
I’ll be back!
The bamboo does not turn yellow unless it doesn’t get enough water. When the canes die or are cut they turn gray. Thanks, Resa.
I found a pic with snow and of some the leaves look yellow. The snow is gorgeous on it! xx
I was noticing that it does have some yellow leaves, but the stand does not turn all yellow like the cottonwoods.
I think this still works for my post. R Budd is in not an actual AGM, per se, but in the club. I have to check back, but I think I wrote something about the AGMs walking through the bamboo to turn into mermaids. The bamboo has a bit of yellow, which ties it in, but is frozen, so the Agms can’t walk back through it. I can work with this. The magic trees will have to take over! xx
There’s probably enough yellow in the bamboo for you needs.
So exciting!!!!They did walk through the bamboo to turn into mermaids!!!
Beautiful cranes and scenery!! 💗
Thanks, Samantha.
They’re gorgeous Tim. The color are exquisite! ❣️
Thanks, Cindy.
💗💞
That’s a lot of cranes! Most of ours are gone, but there are pockets up north that stay here through the winter months (that would be the less intelligent ones).
We are still getting a lot of cranes flying over in the early morning hours. Those cranes must have bird brains. Thanks, Brian.
