Cool, I was there as well, saw the sandhill cranes and the woodpecker ^_^
on our way back we stop by Cootes paradise, saw an osprey diving in for fish......but kind of sad to see the water level is so low..... :(

Nice capture of the sandhills but i think i would have rather you had the coyote eating the easter bunny.  Now that would have been a good pic.

Hello niani, I was there yesterday for the first time. and the long point park was closed (good Friday), however, you can still go into the trail. (therefore I am not sure if they will open on Easter Sunday)

There is a place to watch waterfowls along on highway 59, if you go south on highway 59, there is a watchtower on your
right handside, if you walk along the path, you will reach another watchtower, there's the place I see sandhill cranes.

Other birders, please correct me if I am wrong.

HAPPY birding tomorrow!

Great captures - I also love the Sandhill Cranes - just saw them for the first time in Florida.  I hope the bunny pic is photoshopped.
