Photos from Florida's Capital City (and occasionally a few from other interesting places I have been fortunate enough to visit in my travels!)

Screaming contortionist
When I was in Orlando a few weeks ago, I took these three pictures of this sandhill crane one right after the other while sitting in my car. In the first shot, the crane is screaming at the top of its lungs at another sandhill crane a few feet down the sidewalk. In the second and third photo, I can only assume there was a sudden urge to preen or else an insect was biting in a delicate area. My grandkids were in the back seat laughing.

Well, when you've got an itch . . . :-)
These photos are terrific! Funny birds. I've not ever heard one scream before, though. That could be a bit scary! :)
Amazing how agile birds are!
A true clown!
I think the crane is drunk or on something...
ah, to be that flexible
Quite flexible, I see! Terrific shots!

Hello, great series on the Sandhill Cranes. I love that last shot, it is funny. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!

Love that first shot. I can almost hear that crane honking through cyberspace --- they're loud! Nice pics.
Excelente trabalho.
Um abraço e bom fim de semana.
A mating call, I bet! Great drive-bys!
These are great -- it is a triumph to get these big old birds in action and you really scored with these.
Very neat photos!
