A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Grus canadensis
Large wading bird, gray with red/maroon eye patch and long thick bunches of tail feathers. Very graceful bird.
Spotted in huge numbers on marshy grasslands along Payne's Prairie in Gainesville, FL.
Hundreds spotted relatively close for great photo opportunities and close enough to hear unspoiled vocalizations as many were paired up. Great opportunity!
