The birds were right next to an old abandoned farm house, and seemed quite happy to have their photo taken, up to a point, but then like the wind, they were gone, out thru the flat desert areas of New Mexico! A small group of Canada Geese fly over, and out in front of their formation was a pair of Sandhill Cranes. This was a first!

O’Sullivan informs us that a fertile egg is finally produced (not clear if it’s from The Stud or the other male, the Bronx Zoo only has two males) and abandoned and successfully nurtured by a pair of Ring-necked Doves. They have a hard enough time with Canada Geese. On the WCS web page, Ms. What happened to Thelma and Louise?
