Crane Visits The Yard

This beautiful sand crane was wandering around my front yard on Monday looking for his breakfast of tasty bugs and worms.

I've seen those cool birds in my parents' yard - they live in Hudson (but it's really closer to Spring Hill).

Hi -- It is interesting to see where the sandhill cranes spend their winters!! They spend their summers up here in Saskatchewan. We see them in small flocks or pairs in the fields in the spring and summer.

Wildlife: Peaches (Cat) And The Sandhill Crane

A cat looking out the window at a sandhill crane.Peaches was making a commotion the other day in my home office, so I ran in there to see what was going on. She had found Big Bird outside of our window, and was trying to communicate with the bird. Actually the bird is a sand crane and had walked right up to the window. Lo and behold she was trying to catch Big Bird through the window.

Peaches is a Manx cat and was rescued by me about four years ago along with her sister, Pineapple. They are a wonderful addition to my household. Manx cats have no tails and are very smart.

The sand cranes usually come in pairs to my yard a few times a week, and are quite interesting to watch. I thought it was an adorable photo, and wanted to share it with every one.
