Well the talk of the last few days at Reifel has been the Sandhill Crane pair. It started with them pushing away the juvenile from last year. Then spending a brief day or two preparing the nesting site they used last year. And yesterday morning the first egg arrived.

I stopped by early this afternoon to get this shot. Now to wait and see if a second egg will be laid. If all goes well, it should be around the middle of May the chick(s) hatch.
