I pass a group of six Sandhill Cranes
standing in the front yard of a
house on my way home from
watching the baby all day.
Majestic, dignified birds,
tall, gray, with long slender necks
and those patches of bright
red feathers on their heads.
I never get tired of seeing these
incredible viewings of nature.

Four Red-Bellied Woodpeckers
fly up into a neighbor’s tree,
one makes a swooping flight
into our yard towards the
bird feeder. We see one
visiting the feeder everyday.

/ January 20, 2013I especially love those nature viewings…even the smallest thing. There’s just something about them that really gives me a boost. :)

/ January 21, 2013Yes, me, too. I think it’s because they escape most people’s attention and I feel honored when I take the time to notice–like I’m doing something that connects me to Earth and Life.

/ January 25, 2013How lucky are you! I love birds as does my roommate, but we would have to go a ways to see anything like these. Wonderful posts to go with these photos. I have a new camera and tried it out and posted one of my own photos…not very good…but hopefully they will get better.
