For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, #50ShadesOfGrey (birds with grey plumage), here are two elegant Sandhill Cranes. The bird on the left is a juvenile.

Two tall, long-legged, long-necked wading birds standing in shallow water with greenery in the background. Both have light gray feathers. The bird on the right has a dramatic red head stripe. The one on the left lacks the red head stripe, which probably means it’s a juvenile.
