A Sand Hill Crane couple recently had an exciting addition to their family. When they built their nest near the water's edge it immediately drew attention of passers by. Soon there were two eggs sitting on top of the nest and the mother on top of them.
The really curious passed by the site every morning and would stop their cars to get out and see if there were any new cranes yet. Many brought cameras of all shapes and sizes and would stand near the water for long periods of time hoping to catch a photo of the hatching.
Robert Grover, a dentist, didn't actually catch the birth but, he sure did capture some fabulous shots of the Momma, Papa and baby (the second egg never hatched). Then he put together a slide show with music
Dolly, this is exquisite, unutterably beautiful!!
Thank you for the gift of this slide show.
GeeBee and FRiends, you must see this .... Booboo, too.
Dolly, I saw the video earlier but was feeling bad and didn’t write til now. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. I loved every moment of it....thank you for allowing all of us to see it, Dolly! That doll of a baby bird and Mama was so touching.
Getting ready to run to the store. Have to take food to church tomorrow. There is a big basketball tournament in town that Bristol hosts every year and we have a team from Los Angeles coming to our church. And we know they can eat a lot so we are cooking a lot!!
Thanks again for the video~~~
I really enjoyed these photos!
Hard to believe that little chick will soon look like Mom and Dad. :)
