Wildlife here and there

Our brother-in-law sent us photos of a screech owl that visited their porchside hanging baskets in Nebraska. Very cute. We saw several sandhill cranes out on the Kenai River flats today, so good to see them still here. We heard that swans are upriver on the Moose. Our backyard today yielded pine siskins, nuthatches, chickadees, gray jays, Steller's jays, and a moose cow and calf. Also one snowshoe hare sitting in the wildflower patch, almost hidden by greenery.
