It was an overcast morning as I drove to work today. I stopped at Three Lakes to see what I might find. I wasn’t disappointed. There was a pair of Sandhill Cranes with at least one young one.

There were also other birds, red-winged black birds and others I can’t identify. Does anyone know what the second one is?

And lots of weeds.

As always, it is worth my while to stop and see what’s happening at Three Lakes at this hour of the morning. There is so much activity if we only slow down and take a look for it.
