Refuge Tuesday

A quiet and warm day at the refuge. Most of the normal culprits for this time of year were there along with a couple of Sandhill Cranes I found sneaking through the back grasses. I also heard a Pied Bill Grebes sing for the first time - slinking along quietly in the car allows some insights not attainable otherwise.
Enjoy!
