Morning at the Crane Pools
Bosque del Apache NWR, NM

Over two dozen Sandhill Cranes are standing in the icy pool—they spend the night there as protection against predators, such as coyote. Around them are many, many Snow Geese who also spent the night here. Very soon all will take to the sky to head off to forage in the neighboring fields.

ai6yr,

@bosquebill Hmm, they must have very insulated feet.

Here you go — "rete mirabile" — a wonderful net. I've heard about this but never really dug in. Of course on the Web there is an answer for everything. Just have to separate fact from disinformation (keep the filters on high!) https://www.birdnote.org/listen/shows/why-birds-feet-dont-freeze
