While sitting at my desk, movement out of the corner of my eye grabbed my attention. I looked outside the window and below our bird feeders were two Sandhill Cranes.
I haven't seen them in weeks.....months, actually.....making this a pleasant surprise to see them. As I sat and watched them, I decided to capture in my journal noting date and the temperature outside.
One had two tags attached to its legs while the other did not. I often wonder why some are tagged while others are not. I also wonder how it must feel on them trying to walk around or even fly.
For the gray coloring, I chose to use a Potters Pink and Cerulean Blue mix. The way the sun hit these birds, some of their body color looked almost white while the rest of their coloring was a light to medium/dark gray.
Worked in the 8x6 Fabriano Journal made by Fay. TWSBI Eco pen (xFine nib) and Urban Grey ink.
