There is a family of sandhill cranes that live out near my folks’ house. When I came home this evening, I saw them sitting out in front of the house, under an oak tree.

There are a few more pictures over on Flickr, but none of them came out terribly well, I’m afraid. It was raining a little (hurray!) and I think the rain confused the autofocus. Oh well. Just don’t zoom in too much. ;-)
