Mr. and Mrs. Sandhill Crane by danette

Mr. and Mrs. Sandhill Crane

No, I didn't pose them! I was taking some photos of some birds when these two came across the golf course. What fun they were to watch. The light was fading and I was not happy with the final result (other than their quick pose). I worked on it some since others were a bit fascinated. Does look a bit ancient Egyptian!

Thank you all so much for your supportive comments! It was because of some of you that I even uploaded it. They really are amazing birds and they were performing for me for quite a while. If you ever get to Orlando, be sure to stay at Rosen Shingle Creek!

@wac That's the look I was trying to get! Thanks so very much!

@cimes1 I didn't dare get too close. The security guard was telling me they attacked a car. They were giving me a real show for a while. I was glad I was already in place as I didn't want to scare them off. As far as I know, they aren't as far south as I am, but I know they are in Palm Beach County.
