Jigsaw puzzle for free online of a large Sandhill Crane bird. The bird is native to North America. The bird is mostly brown and grey with a red forehead and white cheeks.
Love the sandhill crane. Used to be you could only hear them flying high above. Now they have decided this is a good area to live so you see them in a lot of empty fields. Interesting bird.
Remember seeing lots of them when I was growing up at Cheyenne Bottoms & the Sand Hills in central Kansas.

We have a pair of these that occasionally visit our yard. One day I heard them (they are quite loud), grabbed my camera and went outside to take some pictures. My big black cat came to see what I was doing, noticed the birds and crouched down into stalking position. I looked at him and said "Really? " About that time one of the cranes noticed my cat and started slowing walking towards him. My cat realized just how big the crane was and bolted for the porch. The cranes ended up getting drinks from the bird bath and cat's water dish.
I feel the same way while I build our beautiful puzzles.:)
I thank God for all He has created.:) Happy Easter.:)
