BIRDWATCHING SURPRISE

 Spring is a great time for birdwatching, with the migration in full force.  I recently spotted a killdeer, a savannah sparrow, and an eastern kingbird, all summer-only residents of our area.  But the most exciting find for me was seeing colts, or sandhill crane chicks.  The parents and their two babies crossed the road in front of me and went into a field of tall grass.  I didn’t think I’d gotten the colts until I got home and blew the image up on my computer.  Look closely, and you’ll see their yellow feathers on the right side of the last image.
