Florida sandhill cranes are a non-migratory species that nests in freshwater ponds and marshes. This species is monogamous. Courtship consists of dancing, which features jumping, running, and wing flapping. Sandhill crane nests are built by both mates with grass, moss, and sticks. Females lay two eggs that incubate for 32 days. Both male and female participate in incubating the eggs. The offspring will begin traveling from the nest with their parents just 24-hours after hatching. At ten months old, juveniles are able to leave their parents. Bonding between pairs begins at two years old. I'm looking forward to focusing on photographing breeding pairs and their colts this wnter.
Camera: Sony Alpha 1 September 18, 2022. I updated the firmware and was impressed with the speed of the capture on the eye. Next to see how it does on birds in-flight compared to before
