Sunset at the park Wednesday with Godot -

I didn’t know this - love these birds

Have you ever seen sandhill cranes and wondered why some have more rust colored feathers, while others are fully gray?! 🤔

A full gray, feathered body with a red patched forehead is the natural coloring for adult sandhill cranes. The reddish, brown color seen below is due to that crane preening its feathers with iron-rich mud! They do this during breeding & nesting season to help with camouflage.

How amazing are these birds! 🤩

Monday night beautiful sunset 🦋
