Be Still, My Heart

 Sandhill. Cranes. O.M.G. 

Totally unexpectedly, there they were, in Albuquerque. 

(While it looks as if they are captive/behind wire, they were actually standing on a small pile of dirt, which happened to be behind a wire fence meant to contain chickens, I think...)

These pix were shot from across a field, at dusk, BTW...not too bad, fancy camera (which I totally do not know how to properly use yet).
