#Sandhill #Crane Chick
A juvenile Sandhill Crane sits in front of a bush, almost resembling an awkward turkey.
A subspecies of Sandhill Cranes are native to #Florida, and live in the area year-round.
#Cranes lay one or two eggs each season, and both parents raise the young cranes until it is time for them to lay eggs again.
Immature cranes have sparse, light brown feathers.
Cranes eat berries and fruit, as well as insects, small reptiles and lizards, and small fish and crustaceans, depending on what’s available.
