Bird Watching at Sigonella!

Growing up in Hawaii, we are very familiar with construction cranes...In fact, the construction crane is Hawaii's unofficial state bird. No joke!



I've seen a lot of cranes in my life, but not one with a counterbalance like this -- looming over the children's playground at Sigonella.

I'm sure it meets Sicilian safety code standards (is there such a thing?), since the folks I mention it to don't seem to worried about it.
