Early morning cranes - still stalking

Early morning cranes - still stalking (Grus canadensis)

That posture really seems comical to a human, but I never noticed any signs of humor or self-irony in the cranes ;)

I'm just chillin' today. A bit of BF browsing, a bit of quilting, the weekend grocery shopping, watching skiing events on tv, a bit of house-cleaning. Generally staying inside what with a storm blowing in from the coast any minute. Back to browsing after the next couple of quilt seams.

I'm watching the Biathlon at the moment!!

Another lovely set of crane images... and maybe... this is the best so far to my eyes.

I do love this pre-take-off pose! Thanks Ann.
