Description
I was lucky to capture these two Sandhill Cranes near a canal recently. They are an unusal sight around these parts. I was patient enough to capture them in the opposing poses you see here before they decided to fly off.

SANDHILL CRANE
Grus canadensis
A majestic tall long necked gray bird with white cheeks and a bald red forehead.. It is found mostly in open prairie country, but also in fields and pinelands.. The flight is an alternation of flapping and gliding with a quick upstroke of wing. They walk long distances to feed on roots, berries, small rodents, insects and frogs. The voice is a loud trumpeting vibrant honk audible for more than a mile. The courtship dance is a remarkable bowing and aerial jumping display. The Florida sandhill crane is a subspecies of the Sandhill and does not migrate. Sandhill crane breed from eastern Siberia to Hudson Bay south to Florida and Cuba. They lay two large eggs in a grassy pond nest.
