Of the Central Flyway states, Nebraska alone holds out in protecting the cranes, having proven by its longstanding Festival of the Cranes in Kearney that a crane is worth infinitely more alive and purring in the sky with its family than thudding, broken and bleeding, into a cornfield. Isn’t that neat?

This location is great as it is close to Jeanne’s Family, as well as a very short drive to the Billy Frank Jr. In 1974, Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge was established to protect the delta and its diversity of fish and wildlife habitats.

With shore side access limited to the northern end of the lake, that protection allows for a large population of water based birds. This is one of several families of Western Grebes stayed out in the middle of the lake all day. Back in the late 1970’s, I was stationed there, working for the U.S. It was good to be back!

We did find a family of Dollarbirds, though and it was the first time I had photographed four together! Nearby we discovered a family of White-breasted Woodswallows and the young had made it beyond the nest, but were still rather unsteady and fluffy! Regardless of the weather they were well protected! Magpie Geese.

Mareeba Wetlands Just north of the town of Mareeba are the Mareeba Wetlands , a large lake reserve that protects both wetlands and northern savannah. If I had more time I could have hiked around to find one of the star attractions, Gouldian Finches , but I had gone there mainly to find two of my target families, storks and cranes.

Ducks, swans, and geese may initially appear easy to identify. But, as with many avian families, the more you look, the more complicated it gets. I particularly like the three head shots of “possible” Snow Geese X Ross’s Geese. So much simpler than pinning down those warblers!

Most threatened endemics are now restricted to protected areas, but I’ve passed a couple of Weka on a country road in Neslon and I saw my first Long-tailed Cuckoo flying across the main road out of Wellington. While there are birds you are likely to see on such a drive, it is possible to see even some rarities.
