It's been a really great week for bird and critter sightings!
These were some of our most comical pics!
" Think you could 'scrunch' over and give me a little more room?"
We saw dozens of Sandhill Cranes at the Pruitt Trailhead.
"Keep an eye out for that crazy crane!"
"I just heard there was a party going on.
(let's listen in)
Know anything about it?"
"I'll just play dumb!"
And then there are the storks in flight!
Storks need better GPS!
Harry, Henry, Henrietta and Helen flying together.
"Did you see that crazy bird that just flew by, going the wrong way?"
And then there were the baby alligators at Blue Run Park in Dunnellon.
They were so cute!
Best buds!
"But hey guys, think you could find another log? It's getting pretty crowded here!"
No birds or critters were harmed in the making of this post and the airplane was at a much different altitude than the birds, so don't worry. The Heron had a head and the Sandhill Cranes didn't really have TWO heads! All just for fun!

Cute post! (JMHO, but baby alligators are not especially cute. Certainly not like kittens, puppies or lambs. 😏)
Wow, what a great critter post. LOL< the turtles could use more room. I love seeing the Sandhill Cranes with the horses and the heron. The baby alligators are cute. It is a neat capture of the plane with the storks in flight. Awesome photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend.
the last back to back cranes made me remember this quote. Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. do not ask where i learned that because I have no idea. my favorite is the plane and birds, hilarious. those baby gators are Darling...I love storks and remember the first time I saw one in the preserve I said with delight, Diane what is that ugly bird? I love it! when she said Stork I answered not like any stork i have seen. I was thinking photos of storks delivering babies
...the captions are fun!
Do I win a prize for being the first person to make a comment, lol/ Wonderful pictures, though I'm quite skittish around creepy crawly things so I would be well away from those in your pictures. Too far away to get a decent picture in fact.

A fun post!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Fantastic photos as always! The fist one and the one with the plane are my favorites - great captures. I hope all has been well in your world. I'll pop in to visit again soon. :)
The pictures are wonderful and all of the captions are so much fun. You must have thoroughly enjoyed coming up with those! I enjoyed reading and seeing them!
Who needs TV when Nature is so entertaining!
Great post.
You had fun with this post! Great shots too.
Ha Ha!!:=) Great fun, and a wonderful set of photos, and a delightful post.
Wow! A whole crowd of turtles and many funny shots :)
You captured some great comic scenes.
I love the Cranes, but the Storks in flight are my favourite.
Oh Diane, what amazing pictures you captured! I just loved everyone of them! Now, seeing those alligators, hopefully you were far enough away from momma, ha! It is so wonderful to see God's creatures living their best life, and all the interesting things they do! I loved the perspective of the airplane and the birds, too funny, and what a great capture! Such fun to be able to capture God's creatures in such amazing ways! You do a fabulous job :) Happy New Year to you and your family :)
All of your photos are amazing. Those baby alligators are kinda cute but I wouldn't want to get too close
The aeroplane flying "against" the cranes is very funny.
I enjoyed the whole series.
Happy New Year!
A fun to read post, Diane. You did see lots of critters. Love the capture of the cranes and the airplane.
What an excellent critter post this is :)
Have a lovely weekend.
All the best Jan
Great post today, my friend! So much to see and enjoy around you! We finally got some cold air here in Pa, and the lake began to freeze. Today, I looked out and saw several clumps of something out on the ice. I had no idea what they were! Suddenly one moved and I realized they were the geese! Have a cozy weekend!
These are amazing photos. We were talking the other day that it has been years since we have seen a turtle. Have a great day.
What a wonderful collection of photos!! Loved them all. Anything little is cute, even alligators. :)
What delightful--silly--even photos--good captions!!
I like the double Sandhill cranes-they were probably saying--to each other--I got your back!!!!
and the plane photo with the birds was a great lucky shot!!
happy trails in 2022--
hugs, di
Hahaha you are very funny. Great captions and captures!

Great photos as usual. I'm a big fan of the turtle and that picture was very cute. Thanks for letting us tag along on another one of your adventures. God bless.

The plane picture is magazine perfect.
Really great post!!! I loved all the captions! Flying cranes are just beautiful...that photo with the plane is awesome! And the little alligator babes...very cute!! ♥
I'm a brand new reader who's here to stay. Your nature photos lift up my heart, and it's so refreshing that you're not selling anything here. Looking forward to seeing more of your amazing bird photos.
oh what a fun post...that plane sure did look close!! and the 2 headed crane is awesome but really, all of them are. i enjoyed the commentary!! enjoy your sunday!!
Oh! I love these pictures and the stories that go along with them. How wonderful that you can see the 'story' in their everyday lives...AND...even BABY gators are cute! xo Diana
Great photos! The last one is very funny!
You see so many amazing critters!!! Thank you for letting US see them too!
Oh these were great photos! Loved them all! But wow, that's a lot of baby alligators! No wonder there are so many of them everywhere these days! Yikes!! Someone needs to teach them about birth control or restraint! LOL. Loved the pictures. Thanks for sharing with us. This brightened my day!
Very nice wildlife photos! We almost made it to your part of Florida this week, but were blindsided by the new pandemic.
best... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
That wasn't what I was thinking, beautiful creatures, the Cranes and the Herons . Thanks.
Beautiful captures and hilarious captions!
What a fun post…you’re making me giggle!
Very fun photos, Diane! I can never get over how big sandhill cranes are!
I like your blog header. This a fun post. I like your captions for the photos. I like the one with the crazy bird (plane) going the wrong way. Hahahaaa..
Beautiful captions and recordings.
The last photo is my favorite.
Greetings Irma
Great post Diane. Those cranes sure do make for lovely photos. And I like the formation flights too. Happy New 2022 to you all in FL.
A lovely set of photos, I love the Cranes and the baby alligators are quite cute at that size!! Belated Happy New Year, have a great week, t'other Diane
That last photo is really something, I LOVE IT! The baby alligators are so cute all snuggled with each other. That's a cool picture of the plane and the birds. You took that at just the right time. That was one of my favorite captions you made hehehe. And that photo of the white Cranes and the brown horse is wonderful. There's just something about it that spoke to me. I guess it's like all the creatures of nature are living together in harmony. Great photos Diane!

Las grullas son preciosas, es una variedad diferente a las de aquí. Muchos besos.
wow, giggling. You really made this into a funny story. Really funny. Glad to know no animals or birds was harmed. If they knew, they woulfprobably laugh too. In their own way.
I need to see some alligators! Babies or big ones -- can't believe we've been here since October and haven't even come across a single one yet. Love your cute birds -- like live cartoons.
