Sandhill Crane and Colt

This last spring a Sandhill Crane family spent a few days ambling and foraging around on some private land that had some marshes, grasses and open fields; it was a blessing to be able to spend some time watching, observing and capturing. The first day I saw just the adult cranes, and was happy to grab a few frames of them as they walked around in the grasses. But when I processed these later that evening, I saw a couple of little yellow bumps just barely above the grass and realized they had a couple of recently hatched colts with them; how wonderful!

Fortunately, they decided to hang around for a few days before heading off somewhere else. Have quite a fondness for sandhill cranes, one of my favorites of God’s flying miracles.
