Peggy C's photos with the keyword: Sandhill Cranes

Sandhill Cranes have moved to a bit safer area to feed .. Didn't see the youngster .. But, both of these kept looking over toward the top right corner of this shot .. Shrubs in that spot; perhaps he was feeding by himself .. SOOC [ knew my fellow Craniacs would want to know ] © All Rights Reserved

- Sandhill Crane looking for food - where he should be - not in the road - saw two of one SHC family [ there are 2 families in this area ] - both busy finding morsels - midst grasses & reeds edited in: www.picmonkey.com © All Rights Reserved

by a Sandhill Crane family of three .. they were foraging in the grass of a parking lot adjacent to offices .. watched them from a distance .. took photos .. made no noise .. after what they seemed long enough, I guess .. they walked / strutted with those long legs .. away from me .. sigh .. I followed from a distance .. knowing there were aware of me .. well, this is were they went .. yes, a very busy divided road .. did they fly across ? of course not ! somehow they managed to get to a field .. by walking .. and nobody getting hit .. even though I honked the horn at them .. they dismissed my try to get them out of the road .. and walked ! not to mention the stares from motorists that I got !

let this guy know exactly what I thought of him .. honking his horn at 'Kathleen' .. the Sandhill Crane in the parking lot .. he didn't slow down .. guess he owns that parking lot .. so, decorated his car .. people like him are not human .. imnsho .................... that Sandhill Cranes live here year round .. they breed in Florida .. didn't realize it is illegal to feed them in Florida .. makes sense .. wildlife should remain wild .. edited in: www.picmonkey.com © All Rights Reserved

.. two different ones .. family feeding beside the road .. watching out for cars .. there is another member out of the photos .. on watch perhaps .. every so often, he would make a noise .. possibly alerting the ones feeding to oncoming cars ? .. other SHC family is the one next to offices .. who saw a squirrel and followed it .. very curious about that thing with 4 legs and no feathers .. a wonderful Sandhill Crane experience .. there is nothing like seeing a SHC ! college done in: www.picmonkey.com © All Rights Reserved
