Birds, birds, birds...


Great Blue Heron flying
It was an amazing drive up Paradise Valley today to paint with my fellow Crazy Mountain Women Artists. There were birds galore! I saw a few Bald Eagles - one right at the side of the road and a couple in their nest, two Great Blue Herons on the water, several pairs of Sand Hill Cranes in the fields - one pair flew right in front of my car at windshield height. Great view of them, but a little too close for comfort! And, I had another VERY close call with a Kestrel. Many Swans, Red Winged Black Birds, a Turkey and too many Hawks, Canada Geese, Ravens, Magpies and Robins to count! I live in an incredible place.
