Sandhill Cranes have moved to a bit safer area to feed ..
Didn't see the youngster ..
But, both of these kept looking over toward the top right corner of this shot ..
Shrubs in that spot; perhaps he was feeding by himself ..

Please read the call for Gov. Beshear to halt the Sandhill Crane hunt ! It is back in the hands of the Commonwealth of Kentucky ..

- why do these SHC have to be killed, excuse me .. the politically 'correct word' is harvest
- if they are to be hunted and killed .. that is not a 'harvest'
- if you disagree with me, no problem
- we are all different & that's what makes this a magnificent place
- how boring if we all were alike !

- but, go read the Bluegrass Politics story about the Sandhill Cranes anyhow !

We all can make a difference . .

We must decide if we want to bother.

- my 1st pair of Sandhill Cranes
- what a thrill to watch them .. oblivious to traffic going by and me watching their every move
- really understand how excited people get when seeing them for the 1st time now
- have no idea how many photos were taken
- it was a moment to be remembered

- once you see and are able to photograph one of these elegant Wonders of Nature
- you will be changed within

by a Sandhill Crane family of three ..
they were foraging in the grass of a parking lot adjacent to offices ..
watched them from a distance ..
took photos ..
made no noise ..
after what they seemed long enough, I guess ..
they walked / strutted with those long legs ..
away from me ..
sigh ..
I followed from a distance ..
knowing there were aware of me ..
well, this is were they went ..

yes, a very busy divided road ..

did they fly across ?
of course not !
somehow they managed to get to a field ..
by walking ..
and nobody getting hit ..
even though I honked the horn at them ..
they dismissed my try to get them out of the road ..

and walked !

not to mention the stares from motorists that I got !
[ these were the ones I didn't trust, not the SHCs ]
