scared straight ....

I was just gonna sit outside and enjoy the Florida morning sun .... but looked out my window and saw this guy sitting about three feet from my front door ... so I went out with my camera instead of my coffee .... it's usual for the cranes to be out there for their graze walk .... but I've never seen one alone just sitting in the grass .... By the way .... when standing erect he's about 5 feet tall .... and I'm a NYC guy .... I've never been three feet away from wildlife that large .... and with a beek that sharp and menacing .... thankfully he wasn't as scared as I was ... and stayed calm for the shot ....
