Sunday morning began with a bang. On the window. It was one of those aggressive grackles! It hit the window, but took off. All is well. This is one of my favourite grackles photos from a walk around Long Lake, in Muskoka. (2010)
Serendipity led to a discovery. I could hear a sound. A bird, for sure. Merlin told me it was a Sandhill Crane! A woman in the neighbourhood posted a photo of a pair of them on the highway. Which supports Merlin's contention.
I taped the sound, and found some photos. I knew I'd seen a pair but didn't remember how long ago it was: Day Trip: cranes, heron, otter, ducks, August 24, 2016!
I tried to get the sound with my video camera. On this you can hear the Sandhill Cranes, ducks, geese and wood frogs on the frog pond.
I took the two photos I had, and put the sound to the video. Maybe not my best work, but their song is interesting.
