Member of the Family - Next Generation

First of all, these pictures suck. Cell phones seem to have their limits. Gotta start carrying a better camera on my walks.

Our little subdivision here at Death Valley Estates is "infested" with Sandhill Cranes. I see them almost every day. If they're not walking through the front yard (get off my lawn, you damn kids), they're loafing under a shady tree, or feeding in someone's garden.

Lately, this little family (2 adults and 2 colts) have been hanging around in the gardens by the lodge. Yesterday, it was the bocce ball courts. I was able to get within 10 to 20 feet of them. Although dad didn't look happy about it.

I tried again on my walk today, carrying a better camera, but naturally they were nowhere to be seen. Sigh.
