Friday Photo Time

I put this photo, in a smaller version, in my second Quid Nunc? post on our trip down to Bosque del Apache to see the wintering Sandhill Cranes.  But it's just such a spectacular image, that I wanted to do it justice on its own.  After heavy rains, a very muddy day, the large-bodied birds left clear masses of tracks on the mud flats and roads (Photo credit goes to Julia Osgood.)
