Sandhill Crane Following along behind a parent in the hunt for food. |
Sandhill Crane Right now the task is to watch what the parent finds. |
Sandhill Crane If it's offered, then it must be good. |
Sandhill Crane This time it's a large earthworm. |
Sandhill Crane A full-length, standing tall pose. |
Sandhill Crane So far the parent's head looks huge next to the youngster. |
Sandhill Crane Thinking about hunting on its own. |
Sandhill Crane However, back to the more skilled parent with predictable results. |
Sandhill Crane This time the tall stretch is to actually look around. |
Sandhill Crane Mud on its bill from the ground drilling, the parent dropped a morsel. |
Sandhill Crane Another worm. Come running. |
Sandhill Crane Very big. Maybe too big. |
Sandhill Crane The parent patiently holds it for the youngster to take. |
Sandhill Crane The worm was dropped on the first couple of tries, so the parent swung it around and subdued it further. |
Sandhill Crane Full of earthworm, the youngster runs off after the other parent for more. |
Sandhill Crane And skids to a stop. |
Sandhill Crane Briefly, they all stroll closely together. |
Sandhill Crane Wings in action on a chase to the other parent. |
Sandhill Crane Too excited, so a bit of an overshoot. |
Sandhill Crane They all stroll back the way they just came. |
