What is this strange creature? Can you tell us what it is?
Posted by IdeaStar @ January 24, 2007
Mike Wise, IdeaStar’s Vice President of Insurance Technologies, spotted this bird recently while attending an insurance conference in Florida. Since IdeaStar is Cleveland-based, the bird looked pretty strange to Mike. He thought it might be a swan, but obviously not.
We could look it up in a book, or even on the Internet. But we’d really like to hear from you. Click the comments tag below if you know what kind of bird this is.

It looks like a Crane (maybe a Whooping Crane). My parents have a lake behind their house and there is one bird like this that occasionally visits (I guess he makes easy friends with canadian geese).
I don’t know if we ever figured out what that bird was though… maybe a Heron?

It’s a Florida Crane! Heron’s fly with their neck bent so their head is close to their body. Crane’s fly with their neck streched out like a goose. Maybe thats why the geese in your parents lake allow these guys to hang out with them.

What do I win? Any more bird trivia?

What do you win? How about a pet Florida Crane? It can keep you company at work.
