Sandhill Cranes in Sanford

A gorgeous family of Sandhill Cranes wandering around near Sanford, Florida (on a very busy street - but they seemed to be street-smart).  I am pretty sure this is a mom, dad, and 2 chicks. 
 
 
SO CUTE!  I love how the parents are so protective of the chicks.  The father led them across the driveway, while the mother went behind them to make sure they got safely across.  Smarter than most humans!!

 
The dad was making sure I meant no harm to his little family!
