also live in Florida and whenever I spend time at my parent's house near tampa these dumb fucks always wake me up. pretty funny to watch our cats go after them though
I live in Oregon and had to go well out of my way to find these a couple months ago. They're sort of rare here. Really cool birds. Shame they're not so beloved elsewhere.

Birders in Maine went a little nuts about them popping up here. Never saw any myself but I am made I keep hearing about snowy owls I just keep missing.

i always get these guys at work real close to the car then turn the speakers up real loud and play sandhill noises and watch them freak the fuck out
>they never learn
ITT: proof of how endangered animals will never be able to co-exist with people and any efforts to try to save them will be pointless

Protected? Yes
Declining? Yes
Endangered? No. You're thinking of Whooping Crane.
