SAND HILL CRANES

We stayed overnight in Tombstone, ate dinner at the Longhorn Restaurant, played 65, (one of our favorite card games), and ate munchies. After a free breakfast at the motel, we headed up toward Wilcox to the Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area, to try and find the sand hill cranes that winter in Arizona. When we arrived, there were a couple cranes and many ducks and snow geese.

Apparently you can hear the cranes from a mile away, and they did make a lot of noise. We were happy when we could see a few of them.

Then we heard more noise, looked up, and saw more.

And then, they started coming out of the clouds, thousands of them!

And coming-

And coming!

Absolutely awesome!!!
