In our rural area, we have quite a few endangered species that call the area their home. One such critter is the Sandhill Crane. The adults stand approximately 4-4.5 feet tall with bright red on their heads.
One adult pair usually will only hatch one baby each year. Often difficult to spot, even more difficult to even get close. Mom and Dad weren't too happy with me getting close, but it was worth the effort........
You can't tell in the pic, but the baby almost looks like a bowling pin on spindly legs. No tail feathers yet.
