Cranes Again

Peculiar combination of clouds
Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I had a nice hike on our normal route this morning; a 60F start didn't feel chilly at all due to high humidity.  We're supposed to get thunderstorms this afternoon.

After the trek we took a ride around several different neighborhoods just to check out the surroundings and to see how many homes are up for sale; not that we're in the market for a new one.

One notable feature of today's outing was the second sighting in three days of a formation of Sandhill Cranes flying southwest.  I figure they're either looking for the Rio Grande in the Mesilla Valley or stopping over at the bosque there, though I see no evidence in my research that the latter bosque hosts any cranes.
