I Love Florida . . .

How many other places does traffic stop on a busy thoroughfare for four Sandhill Cranes to cross the road? Sadly, I didn't have my camera in the van to take a picture thru my windshield. I would have had plenty of time, they were in no rush.

Here's a picture of an adolescent crane at our house. One most often sees them in pairs. We think this one recently left its parents but has yet to find a mate. Whenever we hear trumpeting, we stop to watch them fly over us. After three years, we still find it exciting to see and hear them.
