the Pelicans and cranes are allowed to move freely

The Pelicans and cranes are allowed to move freely. In many resorts they are kept beside ponds. There are different fishes, worms and the pelicans and cranes they search for the food and are satisfied.

Did You See What the Lady Across the Street Did?

Kareng @kareng (80243) • United States 11 Jul 20

I saw these two geese as I headed home from my daughter, Ashley's house the other day. They live in a rural setting and several neighbors have ponds stocked with ducks and/or geese. It was kind of funny because I passed two...

Another Crane Photo

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 28 Apr 17

This is one of the cranes I photographed before. I managed to get the photo of it as it was starting to walk back into the marsh. I later got it and some of its friends on video (which I'll be posting to Youtube later).

Crane Pair

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 28 Apr 17

I didn't see these two at first because they blended in with the marsh behind them. But, I did manage to see them in time to get a couple photos before they saw me and went back into the grass.

One More Crane Picture

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 12 Apr 17

As I said before, they are surprisingly easy to photograph so, while I had an opportunity to, I decided to grab one more picture as I was walking back to my car. This one cooperated with me.

Crane Pair

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 12 Apr 17

Some more cranes I spotted while walking near the marsh area of the park. I'm not sure how many were in there total but I'm guessing at least 10. They most likely have their nests in there.

I told my wife I'm going to have to take the girls out to the park this weekend if the weather is decent because I think they would get a kick out of these birds. The thing that surprises me about them is how relatively tame they...

What is it with cranes and gravity?

gantwick @gantwick (849) • United States 30 May 08

Just heard about yet another building crane crashing to the streets. Is it me, or have there been an awful lot of this thing happening? Don't they know that gravity is going to win every time?
