7:30 PM, 50 degrees, minimal breeze Our Sand Hill Crane, �Fred Astaire� (because he likes to dance :) appeared in his favorite evening eating place (for shelled corn) with a mate. Last summer, (2019) Fred�s mate disappeared; we assumed she may have been killed by a coyote.

Fred was heart broken, and finished 2019 alone. This spring, he was solo when he arrived; and spent several weeks leaving our property, generally flying north east�looking for a mate.

We�re thrilled to see Fred �brought his bride� home :) They�re strolling through the yard, pasture, driveway, wetland and west pasture area.
