Is it a Great Blue Heron? I can't really tell what color they are. They are beautiful birds.

Alright Marsha, I know what they are. But I would be cheating if I told because I have them in my back yard.
Plus You know I'm from Florida. Ha!Ha!

can't really tell what color they are either, but we have lots of herons here. I would guess thay are Herons.

The top of their heads are red, if that helps! Thanks Dorinda you're a good farmgirl for letting the other gals have a chance. They fly over the house every morning early and sound like what would you say, pre-historic birds! That's what they sound like to me.
We have a winner!Kristin you are right, they are Sandhill Cranes! We have them all over Deltona. Poppa and Mamma with two or three chicks all fluffy and cute by the side of the road eating bugs. We have the most lakes in one city around so they nest here as well. This is a family pair with the chick now with full color only smaller than the parents.
Email me your address so I can send you your gift. Thanks everyone for playing.
If anything else shows up we'll play another round of guess that wild life!

Marsha, thank you! I will email you. This was fun. We have lots of the Herons here and they look prehistoric. They are so big with all those legs and beak. Very pretty birds.

Is it a Monarch? I'm not sure if I spelled it right.

My neighbor grows certain vegetables in her front yard to encourage wild bunnies to eat there. Well, they end up in all our yards looking for stuff. They are overunning the neighborhood, yet she sets live traps for squirrels. Often complains about crows. I love wildlife and don't like seeing them trapped or poisoned (we find a lot of dead crows around). Has anyone else encountered a neighbor or a situation like this?

My brother in Texas says his neighborhood is overrun with rabbits. He traps them and takes them about four miles away and releases them. I told him four miles wasn't far enough but he seemed to think it was. There is a family of foxes where I live, so no rabbits and the woodchucks seemed to have disappeared as well. Anytime there are no predators around, the rabbits are going to flourish.
