Rode out to the river yesterday, a lot of sandhill cranes in field after field.
Average wingspan of 2m / 6’ 6" and its a lot more impressive in person than on my iPhone SE non-telephoto camera. The vocalizations are something to hear, they are LOUD. During the California Gold Rush they were called “rib eye of the sky.”
End of the road:
I turned around instead of taking River Road because a) traffic, and b) to practice pothole avoidance skills 
Seriously thought I cracked a rim at one point, is it a road or just hunks of asphalt thrown around 
That particular road is like riding to the end of the world, but hey I’m the one that wanted to avoid cars and take the road less traveled…
Spent about 20+ minutes below sea level, and got to do some beta testing and web app testing. The beta app gets the below sea level elevation correct:
Yay for the Dutch and people like me that ride below sea level 
Its not just the Sandhill Cranes enjoying our little slice of the Pacific Flyway. Out again today and took some pics of these guys:
Egrets! Unlike the cranes they hang around all year, but I never see that many in fields.
