|Birds at Camp Friedenswald

Here are some videos of the morning mist at Camp Friedenswald:

• Video 1 -- http://youtu.be/6zPaIC29eC4 (can you see the baby? it's easier to find in the picture below; behind them is a sleeping goose that later awoke.)
• Video 2 -- http://youtu.be/6kgnB2aZQcc (notice the cranky red-winged blackbird)

Because the colt (baby sandhill crane) is hard to see in the video, here is a photo of it. At that degree of zoom, my point-and-shoot isn't very clear.

In Nebraska we'd sometimes go watch the sandhill cranes in migration. Info:
