My friend Kathy is out in the Crex Meadows area almost everyday. I have come to think of that area as her personal refuge so when I arrived on Saturday afternoon to see if I could watch the cranes come in for the night, I was pretty surprised to see how many other people had the very same idea.
Funny how I felt like they were trespassing.

| The sounds these cranes make as they fly over is pretty amazing. |
 |
| The sun hitting the birds as they fly in. |
 |
| There were big groups of cranes and big flocks of geese. |
 |
| Perfect form. |
 |
| These two were settling in for the night I suppose. |
 |
| Some scenery, while the colors are dulling towards winter, it is still a pretty time of year. |
 |
| The sunset was worth the drive. |
 |
| It was a blinding and beautiful setting of the sun for sure. |
 |
| These swans were busy preening. |
 |
| A gnarly old tree that is home to some kind of critter. |
Kathy said that she saw thousands of cranes the very next night after the weather changed and there was a little snow in the air. I'm happy I got there to see as many as I did.
Mother Nature is amazing.
