Relaxing Sandhill Crane

Kensington Metro Park, Michigan

This juvenile Sandhill Crane was quite happy to let me get close for a few photos.

Scroll down to see two more photos of it taken at the same time. Click on the images to access their page for more info.


It yawned a few times, but I never managed to get it completely in the frame:




This alert pose occurred when it caught sight of a large bird flying overhead:
