Nice shot Karen, I was there about 10 days ago, didn't see any cranes but it was definitely a cool spot.

Now those are some large birds! I had the pleasure of seeing those in person once while visiting FLA. Pretty tall creatures. My kids were little and wanted to go chase after them. At the time, the birds were taller than my son. I'm sure there would have been chasing, but not the boy after the birds, but the other way around!

They fly North durning the summer and vacation in Southern Colorado for a couple months of the year.

That''s a stunning shot. Wonderful colors and sharpness!

They're such peculiar looking birds, or is it just me? Very nice capture, Karen.

Thanks, Chaz. You haven't seen anything until you see their mating dance. It is a hoot. Wings spread, hopping around, etc. :)

Thanks, Carlton. We saw a few of these..not as many as I expected or had seen farther south. There you see them in the streets and yards.
