Who knew sandhill cranes kept pet deer? The sedge of cranes at my favorite Upper Peninsula rookery do, or they seem to. As the birds moved across the meadow, the doe followed as if on a leash, right in their midst. Maybe she knew they knew where the best tidbits were. Or maybe they knew she makes a better target for photographers. In any case they added up to a rare picture.
