Urban Sandhill Cranes

Picture of the Day for 11/13/2015.  There was a flock of Sandhill Cranes milling about the parking lot of a public park tonight. They seemed more irritated than alarmed when I got up close to them to take pictures. They must be so used to being around humans. This must be a common sight for Floridians, but as a Utahan I was so charmed by encountering wildlife I can't see in my native state. I love how the cranes blend in with gray asphalt.
