Crested cranes are the national symbol of Uganda, appearing on currency and visa stamps. We were fortunate to spy two beautiful cranes in a cow pasture, and they were polite enough to stay put while we backed up the bus, opened all the windows and snapped away. John Baptist pointed out that the crane on the national seal is balanced on one leg, indicating it was at peace. Dr. Hunter was inspired to suggest that the Holy Innocents Hospital be painted in the colors of the crested crane.
