I chased this Sand Hill Crane all over my son's 100 acre Florida Farm trying to get a decent photo. There were a pair of them with a Colt. I'm not horsing around, that is what they call a young Sand Hill Crane. I will share more photo's of them in the future, but I particularly liked this one with the Live Oak Tree in the background.

Beautiful coloring and details in the feathers of this bird, Tick.
I believe that calling a young Sand Hill Crane a "colt" makes sense. After all, we call a crazed photographer (one very similar to me) running around a 100 acre ranch chasing them an "old goat." ;)

Outstanding action shot Tick, such wonderful detail & colour. Like the way you've timed it when you can see his red on the head - Bravo

Well Tic you really got a great shot of the sand hill crane and a bonus as well, physical activity with all that running and horsing around - looking forward to more pics of the crane!!!!!!!!!

Very good capture, I love seeing them as they migrate through here. I like the composition, and that the tree is in the shot as well. Tigz=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Sandhills are very common up here in North Dakota, so much so that Steele, North Dakota, decided it needed an "attraction" and put up what they call "the world's largest sandhill crane", a pretty cheesy-looking thing along I-94. It's pretty obvious that the body is made from a large propane tank (which begs the question: does it fart flames?). Good catch, Ron. Waiting for more.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Not an easy territory to run after Miss Longlegs Tick. But you still got a very clear shot of her/him. Remember this is not a golf course and watch out for hindrances :)

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Apparently a candid, but wonderful, picture OFT (Owd Fella Tick).
If you had asked it permission for a photo shoot, probably it wasn't on the run, but it had posed willingly for you, ☺ .
In spite of the difficult photo conditions there, your effort was rewarded by achieving a clear shot.

Try to change what you can't accept, but accept what you can't change. Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
Your patience and all that running around paid off Tick. What an elegant bird this is.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
I hope somebody snapped you chasing this!...that would certainly be a hoot!...
