Each month the Camera Club selects a Photo of the Month and, for February, chose a dramatic birds-in-flight picture taken by club member Linda Mirro while visiting Willcox, in January 2021. The birds were sandhill cranes on their yearly migration trip; Willcox is a convenient resting place as the cranes make their way south for the winter. Willcox is a well-known area for viewing migratory birds and even provides a crane observatory on the lakeshore. A small lake is located in town and what seemed like thousands of birds landed there while John and Linda watched in amazement and took lots of pictures.
