Wow, they sure look a lot like our sandhill cranes.

They do. I've never seen a sandhill crane in the feather, but images of them here on POTN sure look similar.

Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Burrowing Owls and Owlets- The Owlet eyes have changed from brown to yellow. They leave the nest about 44 days after hatching and begin chasing live insects when they are 49 to 56 days old. It won't be long and these owlets will be on their own. Camera: Sony Alpha 1 March 17, 2023

Wonderful capture of the Brolgas pair, Pippan! Both images are nice and sharp. When I first saw them, I thought they were Sandhill Cranes. They certainly look a lot alike.

Awesome captures!

Great shot and caption!

Beautiful shot of the Scrub Jay!

Three fine captures!

Nicely done!

Excellent shots! Beautiful eye.

That's a wall hanger!

That's a beauty! It's much better when they're all on one branch than on several.

Beautiful capture!

Thank you sogs
