Dr. Tom  Wronski may study bones at work, but at home he is fascinated by birds.

An avid bird watcher, Wronski, by day a professor of anatomy and bone biology with the college’s department of physiological sciences,  subscribes to the magazine, Bird Watching.

The magazine invites readers to submit photos for consideration by their editors. Each issue, the editor’s picks are published.

“When one submits a photo, there’s an e-mail reply from the magazine that states that only about 10 percent of the submitted photos get published,” Wronski said. “So it is an honor to get one of your photos published.”

The photo, taken  with his Canon Powershot G9 camera, was taken of a sandhill crane when it appeared in his back yard this past summer. The crane was one of a group of permanent residents of Wronski’s neighborhood, which is near Paynes Prairie State Park, Wronski said, adding that a migratory group of sandhill cranes arrives in the area in the fall months.
