Lucky viewing to get a lovely shot. The chick is so small it may be a new hatch. Looks like there is still some egg sitting happening. Beautiful picture. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe they don’t want people in their space - let them be

Saw a couple of these Sandhill Cranes digging for food on one of the greens a couple years ago. Lots of damage to the green. Chased them off and called the proshop. Like pitbulls, they are cute when they are young, but can do a lot of damage.

Such majestic looking birds. I will take them any day over the Canadian geese, which are a complete pest in the Midwest.

Beautiful picture. Thank you. When they strut across the golf course, our yard or the street, they seem to know that they are a protected species in Florida. Elegant.
