got that lovely pic from wiki.
those are sand hill cranes. one of the nastiest birds around. they're protected (in Florida). I've seen them chase kids on bikes. the joke is if walking, bring a trash can lid to use as a shield. they're that territorial. they attack cars. etc etc.
Always wondered what a sand hill crane looked like, though I don't know now where I ever heard of them.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm glad I've never seen one in person!
