COLTS ARRIVE

 

About ten days ago I spotted two young Sandhill Crane colts with their parents.  It’s unusual for both chicks to survive so I felt pretty lucky.  I’ve been out photographing them every day through rain, in fields where only their heads showed, and then in the open a few times.  I’m guesstimating they are about 3-4 weeks old from their size, feather development, and inability to fly.  It’s always a delight to see these gawky-looking youngsters.
