@yngmar @NatureMC Oops! I'd forgotten that Storks and Cranes are two different birds. (Sorry! City dweller 🤭).
And wow, are they tall! (See alt text).

This bridge is only for bush turkeys now.
A few more of my bird photos from this afternoon.
This may have been the first time I've managed to get some decent photos of a bird as small and flighty as this fairy wren.
I think this is a male in his "eclipse plumage", i.e. the less colourful feathers they wear outside of the breeding season.
@Thomas_Llama and I saw a merlin (𝘍𝘢𝘭𝘤𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘴) while walking through the neighborhood this morning!
Too far away to get a decent picture, but I'm posting it nonetheless because it was a cool moment.

We had a nocturnal visitor!
From the abundance of little meadow voles in our yard, there is now one (or two?) fewer.
