Below is a picture of the crew at work this afternoon. They have found the plumbing line that goes to the old crib and are discussing whether or not the Mountain Ash (left foreground) needs to be pulled to find the line coming from the house. As it turned out the tree is safe! The BioCycle tank is visible behind the backhoe and it will go in right about where the small mound of dirt is (center-right). The hole will be dug tomorrow.
As work ended we noticed a visitor in the road at front of the cabin. A Sandhill crane! You should click on this picture for the larger file. These birds are beautiful.
A few of the cranes are congregating in a field just up the road. Looks like a lot of young ones here....
