Gosh, y'all are getting way too clever in this game. Kathy, you were close. Suze guessed it's a 'Butter-butt', our nickname for the Yellow-rumped Warbler. This is probably the best shot I've ever had at one. They don't sit still for long and they're usually hiding amongst the tree leaves.

Great guesses, y'all! Nobody was stumped as to its avianicious nature. KellyRae correctly narrowed it down to Sandhill Crane. These were just outside Barberville in Volusia County... just east of Ocala National Forest. Look up to see some of their craney cronies. You'll notice, while a pair is grazing, one is always keeping lookout.
FYI: A group of cranes is called a herd, siege or sedge.
