One of the baby cranes is gone, but the surviving colt looks healthy and happy and the entire family was out this morning but way too far away to get a photo.
Later today I heard the call and it sounded close so I ran upstairs with the camera and went out on the deck
Papa Crane?
and I believe it’s the father. They call to each other when apart, it’s really beautiful and ancient (they’re pre-historic birds). It’s always a treat to see them close by. We can’t go out into the Preserve so when I can get a photo it’s really special. Thanks for reading, Dee
