2nd Place Win in the Water Birds contest, 09/02/2021, Members Participating: 361, Images Submitted: 925
This pair of Sandhill Cranes, who mate for life, stopped by and had early breakfast at our lake in Punta Gorda, Florida. Their sinchronized movements reminded me of dancers in Swan Lake. Something spooked them and they immediately stood straight and as if saying “You look that way and I’ll look this way,” they rotated in opposite directions looking for who or what spooked them. Maybe it was me. We’ll never know. But I was able to get a few good photos as they rotated and then went back to synchronized feeding.
