Sandhill Cranes in the snow + Rough-legged Hawk

One of more than 3500+ Sandhill Cranes.
At dusk they started to come in.
The sound was incredible.
 


Make sure you double click the photos to see them full sized.




Thousands and Thousands of them in the snow.
My first time seeing them in the snow.

Three were very close to the road

Plus we saw 3 rough-legged hawks.


Jen and I wandered the backroads from Midland - Barrie and Orilla.  We saw some amazing birds.
