Hi Robin,

I have a question for you about the CPG Sandhills. The ones I've seen beling to one of the small races, which barely reach waist-high on a person (or are only about double the height of a White Ibis).

The crane I saw in the surf at Virginia Key this past December was nearly neck-high, so it seemed to be either a Florida Sandhill or a Greater Sandhill.

Are there other races of Sandhills breeding at the gardens?

Thanks.


My best,

Bill
