Friends--
When we in VFP do all we
can to stop the bulldozers from ripping up OUR forest preserves,
this is one of the things we are trying to save.
Click on the link below to
view a fantastic slide show. Once there, click on any image to slow down
or speed up the show. If you are not moved by this photo sequence, perhaps
you need to apply for a bulldozer-operator job!
Regards,

Sandhill Crane Family
-
- These pictures were taken in the Suntree area of
Florida, south of Cocoa and Titusville.

- A Sandhill Crane couple recently had an exciting
addition to their family. When they built their nest near the water's edge it
immediately drew attention of passersby. Soon there were two eggs sitting on
top of the nest and the mother on top of them.
-
-
-
- The really curious passed by the site every
morning and would stop their cars to get out and see if there were any new
cranes yet. Many brought cameras of all shapes and sizes and would stand near
the water for long periods of time hoping to catch a photo of the hatching.

-
- Robert Grover, a dentist, didn't actually catch
the birth, but did capture some fabulous shots of the mother, father, and baby
(the second egg never hatched). Then he put together this slide show with
music.
