    This was taken in the middle of a street! I took this with my Canon 20D, 100-400 mm lens, handheld on a cloudy day. I love its' little wings.

    Too Cute! Walking across a street does not sound like a good idea...hope he rides the bus, next time. lol I like the wings, too and the expression on it's face.

    You don't see these guys in the street very often. Very nice catch. I hope you have a wider angle shot so you can see the whole street also. In this case more environment would have more impact in my opinion.

    Lets hope he grows into those legs!

    Sandhill Cranes really are my favorites. We played golf quite a lot for a few years, and at one of the courses, we watched a family of cranes from the time the baby was this size, till it was a teenager. We have also had families of them living at retention pond nearby. Around here, they show up in the most unlikely of places and make themselves at home.

    Very sweet photo.

    What a wonderful fuzzball. I do hope that you saw that he crossed the street safely. I like Rob's idea about using a wider angle to get the perspective of him and the street. Well done.

    Thanks everyone. I have many shots of the two parents being followed by 1-2 chicks right across 4 lanes of traffic. The first adult heads out, the traffic (most of the timne) stops and the others follow. It is harrowing to watch!
