Sandhill Crane "colts"
Do you remember the blog about the Sandhill Crane “Colt” Birdwatching? The little baby Sandhills were just a day old then on March 14th of this year. Today is August 27th of 2010 and they were visiting in my backyard with their parents. As you can see, they are growing up quite well. We have been watching them over the last five months. Couldn’t resist getting the camera out and updating their progress.
Sandhill Juvenile - 5 months old in backyard
They still don’t have all their color yet, but they are just about as tall as the parents. It is neat to be able to watch them grow. Hope you enjoy the photos.
Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis) are in the Gruidae Family of the Gruiformes Order.
Even the stork in the heavens knows her times, and the turtledove, swallow, and crane keep the time of their coming, but my people know not the rules of the LORD. (Jeremiah 8:7 ESV)

How awesome to get to enjoy this! I love it when “OUR” wildlife hangs around and we get to see things year after year. You feel like they’re your very own young ‘uns.
Thanks for sharing the wonder of it all!
