I just discovered that a Sandhill Crane chick is known as a colt. How about that ! This pair had a colt last year that died. I'm hoping it goes better for them this year.

Do'nt envy your sister, go to Bosque del Apache NWR in central New Mexico in the next month and see them by the thousands. You'll have to see them fly in from their daytime feeding grounds at dusk into the security of some man made shallow lakes, a breathtaking sight. On a good day you'll have a colorful New Mexico Sunset plus the almost overwhelming spectacle of their flight and sound, not to mention the greater number of Snow Geese at the same time same place. I do'nt get paid to endorse this, I live in Missouri.

There is nothing, NOTHING, like the cry of a Sand Hill Crane. No matter what I'm doing I stop and listen when I hear it.

Fabulous! I hope someday to get a good picture of one of the cranes dancing. I find it absolutely thrilling to watch them playing, dancing, throwing little objects back and forth to each other. And I agree with gebodogs: I stop and look for them every time I hear them cry. It's a fantastic sound; it has a very deep impact on me.
