| Yesterday we drove from near Gary, Indiana through Chicago to Baraboo, Wisconsin to visit the International Crane Center. Here is a grey crested crane. When I was in Kenya in 2008, I was in a van. Our tour group was taking a short cut through a farmer's field. Our guide said, "Look to the left. There is a grey crested crane." Sure enough, I saw a tall skinny bird with a wonderful gold crest on it's head walking elegantly through a field. I was impressed. I decided then and there that I wanted to learn about birds so I could have the same effect on others as that guide had on me. |

| So a grey crested crane got me started on birdwatching. |

| This is a wattled crane. |
 |
| Siberian cranes have ridges on their bills to tear touch vegetation out. |

| Whooping Cranes are cool. |
