Crane Season

It's that time again. We are surrounded by thousands of cranes in our fields, neighboring fields, and on the North Platte River that borders our farm. They are only here from February to early April and we enjoy every day of their visitation. I'll often open the windows when they are doing their aerials in the sky just to hear their sound or even better, I will step out just to observe and listen. What a marvelous joy of nature! I took these two movies with my digital camera. The second one was on a recent walk down along our cornfield and pasture. The cranes heard our approach and many of them soared into the sky.
