Florida Sandhill Cranes

As I probably say every year after my Florida trip to the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival in Titusville, the Florida Sandhill Cranes appear, behavior-wise, to be a different species than the western Sandhills I encounter in New Mexico. You can not get close to a western Sandhill. Florida Sandhills, on the other hand, are not bothered at all by human presence. They might amble away from you if you approach them, but if you stand still, they are just as likely to approach. These were part of a flock that was feeding on the berms and over the fence on the other side of the tree-line at the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands at Viera, Florida (USA). I like the graceful juxtaposition of the heads. 🙂 Sony Rx10iv at 400mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Polarr and Apple Photos.
