Birds that gather in Sask before they migrate south.

Do Sand Hill Cranes summer there? I have seen them on their migratory path through Nebraska where they stop to rest and feed. They are enormous and quite a draw for bird watchers.

I am not a bird person.  The top pic has two cranes in it.  I could not tell you what kind of cranes they are.  I just know they had big wingspans.

What a wonderful story showing your mom places she wanted to see  OMG now the bird story  I can imagine, I would have been screaming and scared if we hit a bird, but things like that happen.

Creating air kill in a bird sanctuary is pretty interesting.  No idea what it was, but it broke the grill and left feathers in the radiator grill. 

Oh my, I can't imagine how a person could get into trouble if a bird flys into your car, but maybe you can  It's not like your fault the bird did this

Here is a link about the Sand Hill Cranes in Nebraska. It is amazing to see the clouds of birds and amazing they can even fly. Be sure to watch the video clips.

CC, love your avi!

Northern Rose, is your day job writing travel brochures? You do an excellent job of describing everything.

Sadly, Canada decided eons ago that Tevye (during her misspent youth) should no longer be allowed to visit. They said something about a "Queen's pardon"....and I'm all like..'well, if I can't travel to Canada, why in the heck would I go all the way to London to see Liz? Just to say "Beg your pardon, Mum?" and then like I can go back thru Canada?'

And I really want to drive to Alaska...so I must get this straightened out. I'm thinking about just trying to cross the border and see what happens....but not now. I got enough crime and punishment on my plate!

??? something with a penguin or Eskimo???

More of an herbal nature. The mounties, while smokin' hot, did not have a sense of humour about them that day.

My day job is pretty boring - no travel brocures, just very dry reports.  Just send the Queen a bong with a pre done pardon she just has to sign off on.  The Alaska drive is a car killer.  Most rental companies will not allow their vehicles and RV's on that trip.

It is making me crazy Trimm? IDK, who is who, what is what over there.

Aw He77!!!! Time of limitation should have run out on that! Call em up and say, "Hey! This is Tevye! You know that little deal from long time ago? We'll how's it holding up now? I want to go to Alaska."   Can't hurt.
