Crane Colt

Baby sandhill cranes are called colts. The term "colt" comes from the fact that baby sandhill cranes are precocious and can run within 24 hours of hatching, and have long, strong legs.

@sjgiesman They know me and the baby is gaining confidence. I makes it easier. I was sitting with them like I was part of the family. Thanks so much.

@olivetreeann They do. It's so funny watching the baby impersonate its parents now. It's almost the same size,

@shutterbug49 fingers crossed for you at trivia. Thanks!

@vaidasguogis he has come a long way in a short amount of time. Maybe it's because I dance with them... 😆. It's great exercise.🕺
