Pinellas County is crawling with them!
Sandhill Cranes are protected (like all birds) in Pinellas County. I had to slam on my brakes more than once to allow pairs of them to casually stroll across the road. They have no fear of humans down there. If a pair decides to make a nest in a parking lot, the county comes out and puts up a temporary barrier around it so that people don't disturb it. They rule the roost! I only recently realized they can be found around here. Nice article. Thank you for sharing.

cranes
Thanks! I may be quirky, but I loved driving to work out there many moons ago and hearing the cranes sounding off overhead.

Birchwood Elementary
I attended this festival this weekend. I was most impressed with the old Birchwood Elementary. How sad it no longer functions as a school. I am glad it is still in use as a community center. It certainly had the charm that school buildings often possessed in the earlier days. I felt like I was walking into Beaver Cleaver's classroom.

festival in Birchwood
I am so glad you could attend. It's a great festival. I am hoping I can make it out next year. That was a grand old school! My digs were in the tall ceiling-ed room to one side of the cafeteria and behind the gym.
