Four-foot-tall sandhill cranes

I was out yesterday, fresh air, sunshine, 90° (I love the heat) – nice. Soaking up every moment of my day of freedom, I sought out photo ops. As an avid bird lover, you can imagine my thrill when I ran into these two stately four-foot-tall sandhill cranes standing by the side of the road. They did not even flinch, but seemed to actually “pose,” allowing me to snap several shots. So cool.

Did you know that a nesting sandhill crane has a protective mate, who attacks cars in the … He sees his reflection in the mirrors and the shiny exterior of parked cars….and attacks!
