I had a chance to get over to Whitewater Draw in Southeast Arizona yesterday to see what the winter had brought. Typically this time of year the main attraction is Sandhill Cranes. No exception yesterday. I would guess somewhere between 30 and 40 thousand Sandhill Cranes. There were several hundred Snow Geese and a variety of Ducks and Shorebirds. I'll share those in the next couple of days. But Today, it's the Cranes. Sometimes the Cranes are further away and "close-ups" aren't possible. Yesterday, there were so many, some had to be close.

| Getting a little closer. |
 |
| The Sandhill Cranes are always squawking. |

| And they occasionally move from one area to another. |
