So, while those pesky photographers are out stalking around, looking for Cranes, the locals are taking their ‘stuff’.
Who knew Sandhill Cranes were so wily, and crooked !



I prefer to photo animals in the wild, without manmade materials around. But when I got out of the car and was greeted with this, all the rules went out the window.
I think the shiny chrome caught their attention. These two walked out of the marsh while people walked in. I think the ‘bubba truck’ has a few new dents.
Sandhill Cranes getting pay back.
lol 😂 love it!
Fun to watch them 😂
Instances of injury to Sandhills and Whoopers have been recorded because the birds saw their reflections in shiny surfaces (building and car windows, chrome surfaces, etc.). They may have been investigating potential “intruders”, rather than considering thievery.
Probably…still the car thief thing makes a better title on a web site 🤣🤣🤣 lol
It would have been really funny if they happened to find the secret magnetic key holder in the fender well, and then wandered off with their prize.
🤣😂🤣, I hadn’t thought about that.
Maybe they were window shopping 😊
😂😂🤣, another good one LOL. This is why I posted the shots. Not my usual but way more fun 👍.
As long as it’s not your vehicle, right?!! 🙂 Walking back to my car in a remote area in the Everglades, I found a vulture on my roof and its buddies surrounding my car. It was a somewhat scary situation, I just kept hollering and waving my hands and camera at them to get them to leave. I knew to not get too close so they didn’t spew on me lol. If ANYONE was out there with binoculars watching me, they had to be laughing, I know! ~Donna
The first message… glad you signed it, but I kind of knew LOL

Vultures on a car are the worst. They pick and chew on everything. And if they….. just leave it.
