Crex Meadows, Wisconsin

To bide the time while I figure out how to customize this terribly ugly blog software - and that looks to be quite a challenge, with little in the way of useful "for dummies" resources on the net - here's some views of Crex Meadows, a bird sanctuary in Northwestern Wisconsin, near Grantsburg. This is the sanctuary where several Whooping Cranes are being rehabilitated with ultralight planes to guide them on their migration. We didn't see the Whooping Cranes, but we did see thousands of Sandhill Cranes getting ready to migrate south.
