Encountering the Sandhill Crane

As I've mentioned before, I'm not the world's most patient or observant birder, but you positively can't miss these guys. They are enormous (about the size of a Great Blue Heron) and make a noise kind of like you'd imagine a pterodactyl might make. Also, they're pretty used to their human neighbours in the park, so they'll casually stroll down the path toward you. It's a little disconcerting being that close to such large pointy beaks, I'm not going to lie! I was completely intrigued by these cool-looking birds, and I immediately wanted to learn a little more about them.
