More Sandhill Cranes, and a 1st

With seeing the Sandhill Cranes yesterday, we thought it might be a good idea to head north to the Jasper-Pulaski Wildlife place...to go to the viewing station.

As you can see, we did see some...but they were not close enough for me to get nice photos.

And now for the total surprise of the day....

Can you see it?  Yep, a butterfly.  I totally did not expect to see one.  I could not get within 5 feet of it.  This photo is cropped.

And though I don't have photos to show them, I saw a frog hopping across the road and into the drainage ditch, and I saw a turtle!  And up there where we were, we still seen snow....and ponds were mostly frozen still.  All in all, a good day.
