I think they look similar to the blue herons in AZ but bigger and taller. They didn't stay too long once the dogs started to bark at them...Oh well! Thanks to Joe with his camera phone at least we got the pics before they flew away.

"Visitors"
We had surprise "visitors" the other morning... 3 Sandhill cranes were in our backyard. We usually see them on the golf course near the house or by the little lake across the street... But this was really cool to see them so close. They are not afraid of people and have a very unique sound.
