Isn't this bird pretty? I love to watch them feed. They raise up their long skinny legs as they take cautious steps to sneak up on a meal. I have photographed one flying away with a fron hanging from it's beak. That the food chain for ya. I was on my way home from work and this particular bird has been feeding in a ditch near my home. I was watching for it and managed to get several photos of it yesterday.I love doing nature pictures. These cranes are everywhere around here and when they nest all in one area it is so pretty to see all the white against the dark trees. I am hoping to get a photo of that one day.
