I caught this quick picture of a baby sandhill crane in my back yard. They came across the road and ma and pa got separated. I watched as baby and mom went down the field and wondered where pa was, then ma called for him and I look over as pa is flying form the next field to catch up with his family. I am amazed by the magic of GODS creature! I have watched this little since he was a wee baby. I have baby on trail camera a number of times but to look outside the patio door and see this little baby getting bigger is complete amazement. I mean look at those legs do they get any cuter?????
Baby Sand Hill Cranes
I call them Ma and Pa Kettle. They come to our land every year and raise their little family! These pictures are off a trial camera called the Cuddelink. It send pictures to my e-mail every hour. So I am able to see what is going on down on the land hot off the press.
I love this time of year, and seeing all the new arrivals into the animal world!
