Very cool, Tony. It looks like they are dictating a letter.

Valid point. They noticed the feather and thought there was a connection...

I drove passed that statue once per month on my way to a client in Palm Beach Gardens and kept putting off taking a photo until I saw the three sandhill cranes staring at the statue like a classroom setting or as you pointed out as if they were dictating a letter to the statue.

So true.

It appeared as if they first scout the area at a distance before getting closer to the statue. It was really funny to watch for about 15 minutes.

Look at this image where the bravest of the 3 got really close and maybe started to dictate a letter on behalf of the owner of the missing feather!
