Every March, thousands of Sandhill cranes stop in #GreatSandDunes National Park & Preserve on their way to their northern breeding grounds. The fields and wetlands of #Colorado’s San Luis Valley provide excellent habitat for these majestic #birds. With the dunes and mountains nearby, they dance and call to each other. It’s one of nature’s great spectacles. Photo @greatsanddunesnps by #NationalPark Service.

Posting may be intermittent for a while. I’m heading south to celebrate my birth anniversary. The National Park Service says of this annual migration, “It’s one of nature’s great spectacles.”

Update: I found the problem.

I don’t know why the sidebar is not displaying on the Home Page this morning. If you’re looking for the categories or archive links just click on an article title, the sidebar is displaying on the post pages.

How do you like the new theme?

I’m heading up to Yelm, Washington for some R&R, and to commune with some old growth forest and the Pacific Ocean. Today is a travel day. I’ll try to catch up at the hotel tonight.
