Location: Vero Beach, West Regional Waste Water Treatment Plant

I am a male Sandhill Crane
My eye kind of looks like a marble.
But it's just my nictitating membrane
Which keeps stuff out of my eye that might be harmful.

(Special bonus post: Check out my latest video featuring baby Roseate Spoonbills.)
