Whitewater Draw, AZ

November 11, 2006

About 5am the sound started, the sandhill cranes were waking and calling to each other, honking about places to head off to with good grazing for the day. The sound came from the far side of the lake and worked its way over filling the air. As the sun was working its way over the horizon the birds took flight in groups of five or fifty and flew off looking for good grazing grounds.

We said goodbye to our friends, Karen and Herb, and settled into some reading and puzzling. We walked down to the lake and out the little spit to a deck with viewing binoculars and observed the sandhill cranes across the lake. Will made us a yummy chicken and stuffing for dinner and we past the time playing Boggle. The birds arrived back in swarms to settle for the night. We watched Mist as our evening movie.
