I caught a wonderful sight this morning. A Sandhill Crane couple was feeding their chick early morning beside a small lake. They are beautiful birds, and big too. 4 to 5 foot tall.
They are beautiful birds!! Careful not to get to close tho, with the baby afoot, they will attack!! I just love your capture of them Sarah.
Artist Reply: I used a lens that allowed me to keep my distance. They didn't seem to mind my intrusion into their morning meal. They are tall enough to freak me out a bit. Considering I am only 5'3" it's a bit scarry. lol
Artist Reply: Thank you Sharon. I am glad that you like it. They were looking for worms and stuff. They acted like they didn't even know I was there. :-) Thanks again and have a great day!
