Thanks for the nature tour! Great pictures.

They are beautiful pictures! Is the second picture sandhill cranes? Sarah

Paribear - Hope you liked the tour. I saw many birds that I am still trying to id.

Sarah - The second picture is a Trumpeter Swan named Solo. He lost his mate about 20 years ago and the local newspaper always does a story when he returns to the same place.

Isn't that the 4th picture? That looks more like a swan. Sarah

Oops - I can't count. The 2nd picture is a bunch of Wild Turkeys. I think the little ones are Polts, the larger are Hens. Ruth

Love them! That's a great close-up (I should have known) I caught some turkeys from far away in January not nearly as clear or close up as yours though

Sarah - Great shot! They are fun to watch and they run really fast too! Per your advice, I finally got the Canon Digital Rebel XT and a less expensive 75-300 Lens. Having a lot of fun trying to learn how to use it. Thanks for the good advice. Ruth

Oooh I'm jealous enjoy!! Did you take those pictures with the Rebel XT? They are super! Sarah
