Sandhill Sunset

Sandhill Cranes fly to the southwest as the sun sinks into the horizon on the last day of summer 2020 in Moraine Hills State Park. The smoke from distant fires continues to create conditions for brilliant sunsets here in northern Illinois as well as for many other locales. Autumn starts around 8:30 am (central time) on Tuesday, September 22nd, and so it begins.
