Sandhills and snow

Ice-covered no longer Went out this morning for my walk after pulling an all-nighter (awesome WilderTrack changes coming) to recharge the batteries. The first stop was at the East Gallatin Recreation Area. The birds were in full throat, but alas, not that approachable for images. Somewhat dejected, I decided to take the quick loop over Kelly Creek to the east side of Bozeman. Coming over the small pass, I spied to 2 Sandhill Cranes in a snow-covered pasture. They were calling and stayed for quite some time (until a UPS truck come barreling past- a**hole). The images seemed to turn out alright and reflect the feeling of these magnificent birds.
