There is a great blue heron who waits at a public fishing dock in the public park on the Intercoastal in Flagler Beach FL. The fishermen throw the heron the leftover bait every day. Its tempting to do but quite dangerous to the water birds who get used to humans and also get tangled in fishing line. Last week I went to a Wendy's in Bunnell FL. What a surprise, a lone adult sandhill crane was begging food at the door. It wasn't moving, even when people were going in and out of the restaurant. I think it had gotten used to people throwing it French fries. That really upset me. First of all, why was it by itself and also what an unhealthy diet it had. I wished that I had a camera with me, since it was such a shock.
