An argumentative chap - sandhill cranes
This couple visited off and on during the latter part of summer.
To my untrained eye, they appear to be sandhill cranes. This particular day, the male (I assume) was having an arguement with a little dog. The little dog would bark, the crane would squawk back, the dog would bark again .... Based on sheer volume, I would definitely have to say the crane won. Though he was well over 20 yards away, a friend with whom I was speaking on the telephone could hear the crane loud and clear. A number of weeks later, I passed within 10ft of what I believe was this same pair in a field next to my apt building. They didn't appear to be the least concerned. (Of course I did not have my camera with me.)
