Photo of the Week: Sandhill Cranes in Red Feather Lakes
Joalie Alldredge Sandhill Cranes north of Red Feather Lakes.  She has heard them fly over multiple times but she has never seen them on the ground in a Colorado forest — until now.

Your photo might capture a moment in time of scenery, animals in the wild, a wildfire, your friends or family, or a recent local event.
