Unexpected Visitors

Well maybe I shouldn't say "unexpected" as we hear their loud calls whenever they fly over so we know they are around.  Yesterday two Sandhill cranes stopped over to spend some time in the pasture.

When we are in Yellowstone, we see and hear these guys all the time.  I have heard they are hunted in south Texas and are referred to as "rib eyes in the sky."  Apparently they are pretty yummy eating.  For us, it was just neat that they made a stop on our little plot!
