"Whose move is it?"

As the sun rises each morning over the Platte River in Central Nebraska, it is a regular activity for the cranes, as they are waking up, to stretch their wings and sometimes do a little dance for their partners or potential partners.  After they stretch they will often jump up and down in the air, flapping their wings and exhibiting a number of other "dance" moves for any partner that might be interested :-)

"Little Alien Eyes"

Catching a ride on the back of its parent, a young Loon chick gives me 'the look' as they swim by.  I thought the chick's eyes looked like alien eyes, hence the reasoning behind my title for this photo :-)

"Eagles in the early morning light"

I have no idea if this pair of eagles were a breeding pair or not, but the image sort of implies a closeness between the two of them, the way the one on the left is leaning towards the one on the right. I like to think that they were a pair :-)
