These guys were very tame and photogenic until the couple with the dog walked up and scared them off. "Oh we're so sorry, we didn't know you were taking pictures of them" I said no, this little black thing with the long white thing attached is just my new cellphone.

Fantastic shots. We've been talking about heading over there to see if we could find some of these. Was this recent?

Cindy, I took these a few weeks ago while staying at the Omni Championsgate Resort in Orlando. Lots of them walking around. I spent most of my time with these 4...until the dog!

Beautiful shots Chris. I'm tired of people and their dogs. They bring them into my yard here at the park and it scares the birds, deer and elk. My yard is open, more like the woods, but people don't respect my space.

Wonderful series. I hope the sandhills come back to my local golf course. If they're in Orlando, our pair should be here.
