[SBB] Merced NWLR and San Luis have lots of cranes, geese and Ibises

Yesterday in addition to the snow geese in the air and on the 
ground,I was lucky enough to come across hundreds of Sandhill Cranes 
close in good light on the Merced auto loop so I took picture as long 
at they were with in good range from my car. Some were posing

Others were dancing

And some were flying

In addition I came across White-faced Ibises in groups on the San 
Luis Loop some of whom were in there remarkably beautifully non 
breeding plumage in the light that I photographed them in.

Since some of you may want to get down there to see them I did think 
this was too much off the subject.
