March 3, 2016 - As I drove home from work, I noticed a sandhill crane on her nest.
March 5 - The first opportunity to photograph the crane on her nest.
March 11 - Momma crane checks her eggs before settling in for the night.
March 17 - The eggs have hatched. They are receiving parental instruction on what and how to eat.
Crashing for the night!
March 20 - The twins.
Poppa crane was not happy to see me today!

Poppa crane was not happy to see me today! Both Poppa and Mamma Crane were unhappy at everyone entering and leaving an Orlando 7-11 store last Autumn. They can make a racket!

That is a nice lens.
What would be a good binocular for under $200. Not my money but my daughter will give me that much.
