This morning when I was watching the crane cam there was a two-year old whooping crane there. She is #8-14 according to Heather Ray. There is no training taking place this summer, as we know, but it was nice to be able to see one of the former ultralight cranes visiting the old pen site location. She is resting on one leg. What a beauty.

Jill, the photos in the article are gorgeous. I read all the information about the problems and injuries that urban birds experience after the final photo of the swift. I liked the photographer/rehabber's story about the avocet. Thanks for sharing the link with us. At the opening of the Indy 500 today there was a huge balloon release, very upsetting considering how much damage the balloons and their strings or ribbons can do to birds and many other creatures. I was shocked to see it happen, thousands of red, white, and blue balloons just floating away. Sure it looked pretty but so much unnecessary pollution and harm was done with that release.

G'day Peeps, my Sunny Moanday. Cold this morning at 45F outside. Thankfully we have a double brick house, insulated roof so it was substantially warmer in the house, 66F. Cheryl, ADD my voice (shout) to the balloon release. I wrote a BAD post on the Indy FB site. Very nice to see a WC visit the old pasture too! Not much planned for the week, other than I want to go to the evening light shows at Sydney Harbor. They look gorgeous. http://www.vividsydney.com/?nst=0&gclid=CjwKEAjwpqq6BRC99aKUkaSjuDsSJAC0pNTVXvYlfPzPBgCQppqUR9uKItVwe6XE_4DKxpCvrWkIOhoCUsTw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds |
