Sandhill cranes are large birds, about 3-4 feet tall. The wingspan can be over 5 feet wide. .
Sandhill cranes have mostly grayish feathers-- the shade of gray can vary widely. The forehead has a bright red patch that is one of the most noticeable features of the bird. The cheeks are white. Although the feathers are gray, sometimes they can have a reddish-brown appearance. The reason for the change in color is that sandhill cranes preen themselves by rubbing mud on their feathers. The mud can be brown or red. The red mud comes from iron rich environments.

Diamantina (Adamantine), a Brazilian city in the state of Minas Gerais with an estimated population in 2006 of 44,746 in a total area of 3,870 km², was one of the delightful surprises we encountered during our 4000 km drive through the interior of Brazil.
Diamantina is a unique and well preserved colonial city built during the early 18th century. As its name suggests, Diamantina was a center of diamond mining in the 18th and 19th centuries in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Located far north of the other colonial towns of Minas Gerais and Brazil, Diamantina is dramatically set amongst the beautiful and mountainous landscape of the Serra do Espinhaço. Since it is tucked away in the hills, it is relatively untouched by tourism, making it mysterious and charming.
Diamantina is known for its exceptional Brazilian baroque architecture, stone paved roads and churches. In 1999 it was included as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It started to rain and I was intrigued by the abstract patterns on the wet windshield when the tail light of the car parked in front of me came on.
Have a great Monday and thanks for dropping by.
