Sandhill Crane

[Freddy1]

I'm fascinated by these big birds. They walk like flamingos emit a raspy coo that can be heard for long distances. Most of my Sandhill shots are part of landscapes but got nice and close for this shot. The first settlers called them Prime Rib on the wing. They are just now making a comeback from being too tasty.

We had a pair that had and raised 3 chicks in our neighborhood in FL.

some years back. It was truly interesting watching them, they'd be out

pecking gravel on the drive ways in the morning, they make some really

kool sounds. Truly beautiful birds, nice pic.

Great shot we have a pair of them down the rode rasin two little ones well they are not so little. Really cool to watch cross the road and eat in the fields.

I just saw 3 of these along the road on the Northern edge of Anoka last week. Pretty cool to start seeing them in the metro. Very nice capture by the way
