Sandhill Crane


Spring has sprung in full force here in Orange County NY. The scent of the flowers filling the air is intoxicating. Birds are starting to trickle in. Today I saw my first Water thrush singing his heart out. Petey and I had a fabulous walk up at Cascade Lake Park, it was about 60 degrees, brilliant sunshine and the sky was an amazing shade of azure blue. This was the sort of day you are so grateful to be alive. Later on I got a birder call from a good birding friend, a tip that there was a Sandhill Crane a mile from my house...we found him and got an excellent look. Now it is time for a Spring Supper of Sauteed Soft-shelled Crabs and Asparagus.
