Sandhill Cranes
One of the benefits of going out to Lake Woodruff on my last few photo trips are the Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis). They seem to be everywhere and do not really appear to care that you are taking photos of them. I always try to keep my distance to not disturb them but sometimes they have the habit of coming to you.

I think they chased me home! There are a few of them hanging out here by the lake. They have a bad case of confused avian identity and think they are roosters and thus responsible for getting us out of bed.
Every morning at crack of dawn they do a low altitude formation right over my house screaming at the top of their lungs.
By now I kind of like it.
Love the blog, Scott. I’m in the UK and thinking of visiting Florida soon.
Thanks so much for the photos of these lovely birds. They walk right outside my back porch and some are as tall as 4 feet. Just seeing one of them makes my day but I notice they mostly travel in 3s.
