I didn't know these cranes were a habitated Florida. These are Maribou Cranes which are from Africa and India. In India the local people called them 'Adjutants' because the stood around like British 'Adjutant Officers'. It was intended to be an insult because these cranes are quite dirty. They are 'carian' and just hang around the villages eating scraps of dead and decaying meat and food scraps, -a living garbage disposal. Many times you see them in Africa just hanging around waiting for the lions and hyenas to leave scraps of leftovers after a kill.
