Did I ever post the pictures of the sandhill cranes in Pocatello last month?
Some people my mom knows live in a modern housing development adjacent to a golf course just south of Pocatello. For the past two or three years a family of sandhill cranes has been hanging out at a water hazard on the golf course right across the street from those people’s house. They sometimes cross the street and feed on the friend’s lawn. One day we went over to see if they were around. Voila! They’re big birds, taller and much more massive than great blue herons, much taller but probably not heavier than a big Canada goose, certainly not as heavy as a bug turkey. But very impressive anyway. And these weren’t the least bit bothered by my taking pictures.
