Now, hunters again will target the 'sirloin of the sky.'  made me to think of the Sandhill Crane families we regularly watch in our neighborhood in Florida.

It is always fun to watch them even if you are not keen bird watcher because the enormous size of the birds.           Some photos of Sandhill Crane families in our backyard Beautiful Sandhill crane family with a very little young one -  Dad - keeping an eye on the family's safety Family with grown ki...
