Blue Crane

Dan was driving home the other day when his eye caught a glimpse of this blue crane in a recently burned patch of veld. Being a man who almost always has his camera with him, he stopped to take this photo.

Incidentally, the blue crane is the national bird of South Africa. Beautiful and graceful, isn't it?

Hi sis,

Is it a blue crane, or a blue heron? We have a blue heron that "lives" in a pond just a few miles from my house on back country roads...I go to visit every now and then and it lets me just watch. :)
