Habitat
Sandhill in a Farm Field
This Sandhill Crane was foraging through a northeast Wisconsin farm field, with its companion. This photo was taken in the fall, when their plumage is mostly gray. In the spring an summer, they appear more brown.
Sandhill cranes became regular inhabitants in our area of rural Wisconsin. I took this photo while walking along the road near my house. It was common in the fall to have dozens flocking and foraging in the fields around our house. Very shy birds in that setting. They were hard to photograph because they would take to flight if I tried to get close. I caught these two with a 300mm lens and had to enlarge the digital image quite a bit to be able to see any detail.

This birdhouse has seen a lot of fledglings in its day. It’s also seen better days. Still, the abundance of days past and weathering have added to its character and charm.
This birdhouse hangs from a tree limb at my in-laws northwest Missouri homestead. Nothing spectacular about this image, but I find it soothing to look at. I love the weathered woodgrain, the grasses and twigs and the strand of wire keeping it together.
You can get a better look at the detail in the woodgrain if you click on the photo.
