Outgoing
My last image raised the question about whether or not is was a composite. I pay union wages for these birds to fly in/out in ways that good photographs can be taken. So this is not a composite either. Just cranes doing their thing.

The Tanager is a bee catcher. When a pair took residence above one of my bee hives, I was worried about the population declining, but my birding friends said I had nothing to worry about. They did eat a lot of bees.

Sandhill Crane with Breakfast
This catch of a large rodent by a sandhill crane is not often seen. There must have a population explosion of these rodents because several cranes were photographed with a rodent. I did not find anyone who had seen a crane with a rodent like this previously.
