Truly a case of having to grow into their feet! :)
Sandhill cranes are such a neat bird. I can watch them for hours whenever I see them anywhere. I used to watch them all day when I camped at Myakka River State Park in FL.
Great pics Pat!

That's like it saying, "Oh no, not steak again"
Thanks Al and yes, a really cool bird with so many interesting movements. Like dancing and when one starts it attracts all the other cranes...

Awesome pictures, Pat! :) Sandhills are relatively rare up here in Iowa, but we do seem to have a decent population that hangs around in the spring. They can really get loud!
Thanks Jacob, there are two population of sandhill cranes in the US that I know of. The sandhill population in Florida does not migrate and is smaller then the other sandhill population which does migrate thru-out the US. The larger sandhills even winter in Florida and mix with the Florida population. Are they loud, you betcha, Tom and I think we have dinosaurs when we hear them around the house. :DQuote:
