p.1 #1 · Sandhill crane and Colts


I've seen young loons and grebes travel on their parents backs, but not Sandhill colts. These little fellows are just three days old and one has figured out how to save energy. If you have seen this behaviour before, please leave a note, thanks! All images taken while I was in a kayak, at a respectful distance. South western Ontario, Canada

This is an excellent set of photos. No 3 is cuter than the law should allow. Nice job.

Excellent work. I have not seen colts riding on the back of the adult. Our Sandhills in MT are just beginning to nest. Colts may well be 3 weeks away.
