Scandinavia Walking Trail

This walking/biking trail is located in Waupaca County near the town of Scandinavia, WI. I learned of a nesting sandhill crane in a ravine along the trail. What was unusual was it was noticed in the middle of July. Most cranes eggs hatch much earlier around here. These pictures are over a course of 2 weeks, 4 different trips. If one of these eggs did hatch it would have been a record.

7-11-04~ My first trip. She was so still that I almost didn't notice her except for her red head and even then I thought she was dead because she never moved a muscle. I saw her eye blink so I knew she was alive.

The big picture~ standing up on the trail, looking down. It was hard to spot her but the red head gave her away.
