A Visit to Haehnlen Sanctuary

The Phyllis Haehnlen Sanctuary is about 6 miles or so northeast of Jackson, Michigan.  If you get off at the Race Road exit and head north until you get to Seymour Road.  Turn left on Seymour and go about 3 or 4 miles.  It's kind of easy to miss the sign so pay attention.
The sanctuary was originally owned by a hunter and when he died it was converted to a wildlife preserve.

 The sanctuary is a roost for many sandhill cranes and I was hoping to see a few but it turns out that wasn't the case on the night that I went.

 Oh well, this pair made for a decent set of pictures.

 If you live in Michigan, the legislature just voted to allow the hunting of these magnificent birds.  I'm not sure if the bill is a done deal yet but please cause to oppose this bill.

 I think this was an American Airlines 787 heading from O'Hare Airport to Heathrow Airport in London.

 The sunset was spectacular even though there were not too many cranes.

I'll have to come back here again.
