Our first winter reservations were one of the oldest bird species still on earth. πͺΆπ
Meet the Sandhill Crane. The unofficial mascot of Preservation Point RV Resort. Fossils nearly identical to the birds strolling past your site have been dug up dating back millions of years. These guys were snowbirding in Florida long before I-75 existed.
Speaking of which: the cranes you see here year round are Florida Sandhills, but every winter they're joined by thousands of cousins flying in from Michigan, Wisconsin and Ontario to escape the cold. Sound familiar? π
A few things worth knowing about your future neighbors:
πͺΆ They mate for life and raise their chicks β called "colts" β together
πͺΆ That rattling bugle carries more than two miles, thanks to a windpipe that coils up like a trumpet
πͺΆ They dance. Bowing, wing flapping, tossing grass in the air.
πͺΆ They're protected in Florida β please admire, photograph, and never feed them
π΄ Winter season is filling up. 230 acres of old Florida on Lake Tsala Apopka, concrete pads, full hookups, big-rig friendly, and a front row seat to these beautiful birds in Citrus County.
