Seeing whooping cranes a true gift

Seeing whooping cranes a true gift

When was the last time you saw a really big bird up close in the wild A week ago I was driving across the Texas coastal plain on a gloomy overcast day An intermittent rain spattered the windshield in timid defiance of the extraordinary drought that covers nearly the entire state This is cotton country and in all directions amazingly flat unplanted fields stretched toward the horizon.

In one of the fields I saw three big white birds just a quarter-mile off the road I thought first of sandhill cranes seen them here before but always in large flocks and their plumage is gray and brown not white The great egret is a big white bird too but you never see one this far from water.

The great blue heron a large mostly gray bird has an uncommon white phase but like the great egret its a solitary bird that stays close to water Other white birds crossed my mind as well the snowy egret and the cattle egret are common and the reddish egret has a white phase But the three birds in the cotton field were much too big to be egrets As they rapidly receded in my rearview mirror so did the options for their identity and Ill admit to a little excitement as I considered the few that remained

I executed a quick on the two lane road and turned onto a gravel byway into the cotton field.They are sometimes known in different countries just as Sex tonic, but the principle is the sameWater resistant and weather resistant with cast aluminum or cast iron garden hose holders are rust free and gives convenience to the herbal slimming After a quarter I stopped the engine rolled down the window and fromfeet away observed three magnificent whooping cranes Paying no attention whatsoever to me they continued to forage quietly in the rain.The Sex capsules is a more popular device in Australia, although visitors from other parts of the globe may not be certain specifically what the term suggests

A real birder might say that theres no such thing as an ordinary bird but whooping cranes are something special indeed For one thing theyre spectacularly big standing around feet tall with a wingspan of close to feet.
