Here is a shot of two sandhill cranes in December. Yes, the grass was green in this picture, but now, since we have had several freezes here in the "deep south" most of the grass you see around town is brown.
These majestic birds can be found most every where on the Treasure Coast. I usually see a pair at least once a week or more. These birds are very beautiful. I have heard that they find a mate and keep the same one throughout their life span. I find that to be an interesting fact. The pairs normally have a new hatchling or two in the early spring, and those hatchlings stay close to "mom and dad" while they forrage for food. These birds are an amazing sight to behold. Just thought I would share.
