On Monday morning (December 1st, 2008) I woke up and heard the squawking of cranes. I recognize this sound as that of the Greater Sandhill Cranes. It is not a common morning sound here in Ridgway. Occasionally I see them flying by, but this morning I was hearing them on the ground.I have been a fan of these cranes for some time and in fact shot a story on their Spring migration through Eckert Colo
25:th of SeptemberLake Kvismaren in Närke is just an hour drive away from Svartådalen and a real magnet for birds. Tens of thousands of Bean– and Greylag Geese, hundreds of Barnacles and odd numbers of the other Geese including even a flock of Lesser Whitefronts, was observed by some other people today. On a gorgeous day like this it´s a truly wonderful place to be. We see raptors practica

Like the one below.I wanted to make one so I resorted to Youtube, and found a good one that I followed......and, after a lot of frustration and trial and error, I made the final product.Try
(click picture to enlarge)These are some of my brush birds that I've been working on in "elements of painting". I have been playing with the idea of taking simple "elements" such as birds, trees, rocks, sunsets, ocean waves, etc. and putting them together in not ordinary and unexpected ways. So what you see here is now available as a note card after spending time in photoshop and rearranging my f

This is more a bit of roadside birding than backyard birding, but we saw something very exciting yesterday and I am wondering if it is at all possible that we actually saw what we think we saw.
Driving North, we saw a group of very large birds flying fairly low over the cornfield. I pulled off to get a closer look.
There were eight birds flying with their heads outstretched. Their bodies and necks were white, unlike the Sandhill Crane, which is originally what I thought they were (because of the way they were flying).
They were flying in circles and at first I thought they were getting ready to land, but they gradually rose and drifted off toward the Northeast, which is the direction the wind was blowing.
They had black primary feathers which were very distinct. I also caught a flash of red on the head, similar to the Sandhill Crane. But Sandhill Cranes are not white. These birds definitely were, and they were huge.
They reminded me of the storks we have at the zoo just because

A flock of endangered cranes was decimated in Florida storms last week. They were being trained by conservationists to Migrate between Florida and Wisconsin.
Demoiselle cranes have their own strategy for surviving the extremes of the Mongolian steppe. They escape every winter, and return in spring to re-establish breeding territories.
The arrival of a male joining his mate ruffles territorial feathers. During the breeding season each pair defends an exclusive territory a few hundred metres across, to ensure they get the food and water they'll need to raise a family.
Once they've agreed on boundaries, the couples turn their attention to each other.
Cranes are long-lived, and often pair for life. Before they breed they renew their bonds in a demoiselle's pas de deux. Like all demoiselle cranes, this pair have returned to breed in the valley where they were born. To get back from their wintering grounds in India, they have flown three thousand kilometres over the Himalayas.

The last recorded successful US Midwest nesting was in Iowa in 1894. From a low point of 15 individuals, this is considered a milestone in the effort to preserve the species. It seems like the hope is that if human predation is controlled the species will survive on its own.
The first time I heard The Cranes was upon the purchase of their debut album "Self Non Self" in 1990. The first thing that struck about it was the uncomfortably child-like voice of Alison Shaw. Over the course of the next year or so The Cranes released a series of particularly fine EP's on Dedicated records which still sound fine to this day. I never really got the gothic thing which some people tried to pigeonhole the band into, I just thought they had a unique sound and that vocal was just so special. The band continued for many years but unfortunately could not re-find the form of their early work.The Cranes recorded two session for John Peel.
