A young Sandhill Crane was busy looking around in the grass as his parents were feeding in the marsh.
They weren’t far off, 20 or 30 feet (6 to 9 meters), and maybe paying more attention to him than it appeared.
As they went around the water’s edge he trailed along behind them, but I didn’t see him eat anything.

Tender and pretty.
Lovely shots of the young crane – at the right place and on the right moment 😉
Thanks, Rudi. We were quite fortunate to arrive when we did, about twenty minutes later the three of them went into deeper grass and we probably would have missed them.
