Travel Guide

Sandhill Crane splitting the atmosphere with its massive wings.  

A group of about twenty of these flew no more than 25 feet over my head.  Of course, their back was to the sun, so all that subtle, rich color in the under part of the wings was lost.

No denying the majesty of the bird, though.

(PS: and forgive me.  The Trover crop factor on extra wide shots took effect on this one.)

Mr. O races back to the nest with a freshly-obtained fish, followed in hot pursuit by a Grey Gull, from whom he has apparently stolen it.
Osprey

Here's the part I didn't tell you.  The mother came out of the nest to help ward off the intruder as well.  The chicks are apparently large enough now that the parents feel secure leaving them for a short while in case of emergencies.

She wasn't gone long, though.  And the chicks completely disappeared from view while she was away.
The ducks come looking for handouts even an hour after sunset.  Unfortunately, I did not have anything to give them.

Great Studio Apt.
Great location and communication from the Host. Very clean and appointed with everything you would need for your stay. One thing to note is the bedroom does not have a door on it. It is just a cased opening. It was fine for us as we had our 2 boys with us. Would not be optimal if you were staying ...
