Sandhill Cranes are huge birds with pretty red feathers on the top of their heads. They seem to like to hang out by the lake here. They make a very distinctive noise and once you've heard it you will remember it. This coyote was just standing there on top of a stump looking like he was posing for us to take a picture of him. We thought he was being very cooperative for us so we could take pictures until we saw the ground squirrel he was eyeing for dinner take off running. The coyote looked at us like we ruined his dinner plans and also took off.
The campground is full pretty much every day now. The woodcarvers had an auction to raise money for more wood carving equipment. They had a raffle for the grand prize -- a Christmas tree filled with hand carved wooden ornaments. Each ornament was beautiful. They also raised money by auctioning off plates of homemade goodies and other hand crafted items. We had a potluck dinner to go along with the festivities. Lots of good food with a smoked turkey as the centerpiece.
