My first posting as a new member.
I traveled 3 hours to south central Indiana to a marshy flood plain of the East Fork White River on March 7, 2014, near the town of Ewing Indiana to find thousands of migrating Sandhill Cranes


I had seen these in Ohio last fall near the Speing Valley Wild Life Area and had been wanting better photos since then

Amazing to watch these large birds toss a corn stalk into the air


and then they'd all start hopping around and flapping wings


Literally thousands of Sandhill cranes

It is your first link, all the others work. You shouldn't see http twice. If you start with the second http and go from there I think it will work.
Nice pictures by the way.

Adds a lot to ones enjoyment of these ancient and magnificent creatures. Can be found, for example, at Amazon.
