Sand Hill Cranes at Circle Bar B

We've been watching a nest of Sand Hill Cranes for a month now and Friday we finally saw the two new "colts".  We were told one hatched overnight Wednesday night and the second Thursday night.  Mom was still on the nest and the two colts peeked through the feathers and climbed on mom's back.  Here are my four favorite pictures (took several hundred) from Friday morning.








I will be following these little guys over the next few weeks.  It is amazing how quickly they grow.  I'm also watching a Barred Owl nest and was able to confirm today that there is at least one baby in the nest.

Thanks for visiting.  David
