Hi everyone
Been away on holidays for almost 2 weeks and back with lots to PP.
Spent more than 5 hours checking your photos here and i must admit...lots of good stuff.
Unfortunatly,there is no way to reply to your posts (not enough time) but instead....i thought to post one of mine and say to all of you that these 2 weeks you`ve done a great job posting here.
A big bravo to all of you.
Demoiselle Crane
They stand approximately three feet tall and weigh about 4-7 pounds.
Body plumage is pale bluish gray.
A light gray-feathered area extends from the based of the bill to the nape. A long, pure white feather plume stretches from behind the eye to well beyond the head.
Demoiselle Cranes are one of two species of cranes that do not have patches of bare, red skin on their heads.
The head and neck are black while the feathers of the lower neck are long and pointed and hang below the breast.
The inner secondaries are long and ashy gray.
Eyes are reddish-orange, bill is short, and legs and toes are black.
Males and females are virtually indistinguishable although the males tend to be slightly larger.
Juveniles are pale ashy gray, with nearly white heads.
The tufts on the ear coverts are gray and only slightly elongated.
