Album The Blue Hour

Sandhill cranes are pretty cool. They sound positively prehistoric. Gotta be careful with Nebraska though, there's some sketchy characters that live there!
 
The sandhill cranes were off my radar until two encounters last year, when I learned from a birding friend that there are some that summer in southern Alberta, and others that are migrating through on their way north.
Might as well throw in a blue hour photo, this one from camp near Escalante:

What is all that cold looking, white fluffy stuff? :thinking:

That is a great gig, and those a some great shots that make my hands cold thinking about them.

With 70 cm falling the week before and 50 cm in the first 3 days of our week, I had my hands full clearing snow before and after skiing during the day. Pathways between buildings simply get ski and boot packed by the guests, but the lodge deck and numerous outbuildings including the cabin that we stay in needed from from 1 to 1.5 m of snow pushed or shoveled off. As it is steep, the lodge roof cleared itself when the weather turned warm and sunny later in the week in a couple of large "roofalanches" which then needed removing from where they had over-run the outhouse path, and accumulated next to windows. So, it's not all fun and games!
