Observation details
This is the reason I stayed so long. In the morning I thought I'd just pop down and take a quick look around, but once I saw this bird, I lingered. I grew up in Sweden, but haven't seen one of these since I was a kid! At first I thought Sandhill and barely gave it a second look (I moved to New Mexico from Florida, so rather used to Sandhill's). But on noticing a young woman staring for so long I wondered why, and looked closer. Attaching photos.
