Sandhill Cranes

[Guyzerr]

Back in May I had a tread showing a pair of Sandhills on a nest that held two eggs. I was hoping to capture the young ones just after they hatched but I wasn't able. I then reported that both hatched but one chick drowned just after. I hadn't been back until today and I ran across the family. I'm happy to report the remaining chick survived and is being well cared for by it's parents.

This is the lone chick



One parent is always on the lookout while the other one eats

I couldn't position myself any differently because I was cut off from them due to a bunch of water. I also tried to edit said ass out of the picture but it was too noticeable.
