Joan I noticed your question. I will research that topic for you.

Maybe I can make a discussion about it.

Thanks so much for your questions. I'm here to help.

I just had to watch that video again.

Makes me smile.

Thanks so very much Sentient - that is.

Dallas stated it perfectly Sentient.  That song plus the innocence (and adorableness) of those two species... killing me!  Thanks for posting it! ~ Melinda

Thanks so very much for that video.

Thanks, Steph.  Where is the Whooping Crane festival?  Here are some storks fighting over something to eat.  But I call it "Stork Rugby."

Thanks Carl for the Sandhill Cranes picture! So beautiful!
Can't wait to see more!
I'm going to the Whooping Crane festival in the spring!
I'm looking to buy a new birding scope - I've been looking online.
Hopefully I can get some good pictures.
