Mechanical Agility

A surprise this morning was the arrival of the three-wheeled claw to pick up the burnt sugarcane from 'our' field. I usually see this incredible machines beside the narrow-gauge tracks transferring cut cane from the tractor's wagon to the train's wagon. This mechanical creature moves with incredible agility. The driver is able to roll a row of cut cane into a good sized mass, hoist it up, and turn on a dime to carry the load over to the wagon, where it drops the cane rather neatly into place.

You will notice all the egrets that gather around. All the action is bound to stir up a good breakfast for them. All of this I watched as I drank my morning coffee.
