Last night I grabbed my camera, walked down to the lake, and watched the
Sandhill Crane family for awhile. The little guy (or girl) has grown so much in just two weeks.
When either parent found a morsel in the grass or the water the little one would come running for a snack. I watched them for half an hour and I couldn't figure out how the parents signaled the chick but he always knew who had the food and when.
After a day of foraging, the family made it's way back to the nest. We've had a lot of unseasonal rain lately so the parents had to build their nest back up.
The rest of the photos are a few shots I got of the parents. And they really are great parents.
