Prepping for migration ?

Just a few of the Sandhill Cranes taken from the following panorama picture.


There are approximately 150   in this picture. They extend about a half kilometer in a line through the farmer's harvested field. (they are the little black dots right to left full width of the shot)

And just down the road aways. A cow Elk with radio collar. No other elk in sight but may have been obscured by trees.

Meanwhile back on the Serpent river.
A flock of Greater Scaup  ducks.

And my resident  male Hummer.

on our clothesline.

Looks fierce wot?

Red on the throat only shows when sunlight hits it directly.

Then there is this Lesser Yellowleg at Sheriff Creek.

and the following "Warblers" for whom I can not find names.
