“Chicken!” Thalia teased. “That’s not a chicken.” Calliope wrinkled her nose and squinted her eyes in confusion. “It’s a Sandhill Crane. You know that.” “Paintist is the chicken,” replied Tal, “The Sandhill we saw this morning soared in circles above us and Henny at the dog park… I almost felt like it was trying to tell us something.”
Great capture! I have the opportunity to see Sandhill Cranes here in Florida A lot. They are so majestic but very loud when they are doing a mating dance.
Nicely done, Gail. Spring migration has pretty well passed here, leaving our summer assortment of songbirds, along with their predators. I read Muir's quote like the closing argument in the trial of Nature's importance and our need to preserve same. Drawing? How about I start with the stalk of a cattail? Maybe graduate to the head before it becomes a fluff ball? Thanks as always for sharing your doings... great and small and in between! CURE!
Very nice, Gail! We don't have cranes around here in my part of upstate NY that I know of, but I'd recognize that as a crane any day. Was the crane telling you to soar when you can? If so, you beat it to the punch.
Nice crane! I can't comment on one kind of crane over another (I should be paying more attention to the bird photos Dennett posts on Medium) but this was undoubtedly in the crane family. And if you hold it closer, it's male, and farther, it's female! 👏
Wonderful and inspiring, plus a call to action. I bought an A5 notebook on Saturday, it’s time I made some marks in it. Great website you shared Gail. 💚
I love your art work. We haven't seen Sandhill Cranes often. Whenever we go home to Northern Michigan we always try to get a day trip in to Seney NWR. We seen the cranes every once in a while there. We even saw an Osprey nesting on one trip.

I love it! Michael O’Brien is leading a walking meditation at 5:00pm EST on CH. it’s a beautiful day!!!
Ah! Can the wanderings of my mind or not mind be a substitute for a physical wandering?

A great Crane, Gail! Yes, feather patterns can be overwhelming.. I need to study it every time I draw a cockatoo.
