#Abendfrieden mit einer vierköpfigen Kranichfamilie. Sie hatten es dieses Jahr besonders schwer, weil die Brutgewässer schon früh im Jahr ausgetrocknet waren und blieben. Entsprechend gering sind die Bruterfolge und eine Familie mit zwei Jungen ist 2025 noch besonderer als sowieso schon.

Why 150,000 Cranes Migrate to This Tiny Indian Village | OGN Daily

When the people of Khichan first started providing food for migrating Demoiselle cranes - just 15 visited - but now there are many, many more.

Good morning. ☕☕☕

I need to pull myself out of this stupor. I haven’t done much in a week—just mowed the grass, and that’s about it. I just added a new item to my to-do list: “Pull myself out of this stupor tomorrow.” There. That should do it.

I’m running late. Charlie’s here, nudging me about mealtime, and I’m only now easing into my morning ramble.

The closet door’s ajar, and my eyes just landed on a short-sleeve poplin shirt—the only piece I still have from my days as a Marine. I wonder what size it is. Small, maybe. Medium at best. It’s well over 50 years old and has migrated from closet to closet more times than I can count, never worn. I couldn’t wear it now even if I wanted to. I’ve graduated in size a couple of times since then. Hmm... why have I held onto it all these years?

“The funny thing about these uniforms is that you hang them in the closet and they get smaller and smaller.” — Curt Flood

Rails for a travelling crane, probably dating from the early 1900s, on a former quay side on the Upper Harbour of the Clyde in Glasgow (see map on the right). While such cranes are now long gone, you can find surviving sections of their rails along much of the Clyde Walkway between Glasgow Green and the Riverside Museum. These ones are just off Clyde Street.
