Duck Lane


In his job Joe drives around a lot and see's random places he'll remember and drive me out to see whenever we get the chance. On a fitting road called Duck Lane out in the countryside he'd spotted these bird houses on wooden poles in the middle of an allege covered pond - apparently in someone's back yard. How the bird houses stand up is a mystery to me but it was a great sight to see and there were a few birds rustling around in the marsh grasses close by. Further along the same road came another couple of ponds and a careful eye spotted these amazingly coloured birds which we later found out to be wild Sandhill Cranes. Wildlife in America does seem to be a lot tamer or maybe they should be seen as more adventurous?

  3. How DO those birdhouses stay up? Those birds (I am clueless when it comes to bird naming) look really pretty and stark!

    1. Those sandhill cranes are pretty impressive looking aren't they?! Apparently they can be found normally around the mid west even all the way over to Siberia.
