Just a quick blog to put up a couple of pictures of some young Sandhill Cranes that I just saw here in Lakeland.
I'm not sure how old they are at this point, but I would guess a few weeks old.
There were two adults and two juveniles.
I actually saw these guys on the shoulder of the road as I was driving, so I made a quick turn into a business entrance, jumped out, and took these pictures.
I had to use the full extent of my zoom on this (10X zoom) and still had to crop the pictures, because I didn't want to get close enough to scare them into running out onto the road.
It's rather amazing how daring these Cranes are, since I've seen a number of the adults feeding right along the road a number of times.
I don't have much more to put up today, but I wanted to get these pictures up now.
Enjoy,
Brad
