I was trying to be funny and tell you what you wanted to hear, while at the same time trying to tell you that the birds aren't Sandhill Cranes.

Trevor L. Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Um... those are definitely Whooping Cranes. White, not gray, with those black primaries. Holy crap!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. No need to apologize! I wont complain about a first county record and large rarity! I am unhappy that I didn't see the difference in a Sandhill and Whooping Crane though!

If he can convince himself they're Sandhills, he doesn't feel as miserable for missing an opportunity to appreciate Whoopers for what they are. That's a lot worse than photographing what you think are Whoopers, only to be corrected. Right, @Kevin? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
