I love their beautiful shrill every spring - looking way way up in the sky and seeing flocks of them. Just love them!

The nature segment on CBS Sunday Morning is always a special highlight. No words, just the delight of flora and fauna in their contextual settings.

I absolutely love this part of the show and wonder what beautiful spot will be on next week. It's relaxing and peaceful eventhough it's only about 2 minutes long. Thank you to the videographers who contribute each piece. You have THE best job. Well, you make it look that way. I appreciate your work and your talent! You bring this viewer JOY!

Wonderful! I've seen sandhill cranes in Wisconsin and Montana; and I want to visit Nebraska to see them. Never thought they'd be in Florida too! ! ! Thank you for this wonderful "show"😊

I think if it wasn't for the beauty of nature I would go insane.

Watch how the mother birds show the younger ones how and where to find/eat. Love watching birds where I live and YouTube. Saw a brood in my palmera trees early this morning!

I love watching the nature scenes 😍. Glad they are on ytube.

One thing I like about these creatures is that they always have a father figure. The male does a wonderful job doing his part. The only thing about the male is that he needs to quit acting stupid when he looks himself in the mirror 🪞or any reflection.

we didn't know the cranes had a nest about 15ft off the road were we walked our dog and we couldn't figure out what was all the noise when we walked by their.

These are everywhere in SWFL, and extremely loud during their sunrise calls.

I’m from Titusville. We are waiting for a couple to show-up with their new chick! (Colt)

This is the best, but I don’t want to go online to see the whole thing. Maybe you could eliminate 1 commercial and make this longer during your show 😊.

The “chicks” are actually called “colts”

[SM-Flyers]

FWIW A young sandhill crane is called a colt.

Aren't sandhill crane babies called "colts, " rather than "chicks?" 🤔 Does CBS-NYC know of "Google?" ✌🏼
