Meet the Cranes

With the burnt grassland greening-up real nicely and all of the trees leafing out we haven't had an actual real time visual sighting of the crane family for weeks.

The ever-vigilant trail camera has been capturing some sporadic photos of the cranes although they have been few and far between.  They all included one little one.  

Aside from accepting the reality that the cranes were raising only one offspring we were concerned that the entire family had vamoosed.  Until yesterday.

The dogs and I fetched the memory cards from the cameras on Friday and performed a battery replacement on a couple of them.  (They were dead).  I uploaded the pictures to the laptop last evening and...voila!

The cranes are still here.  At least as of five days ago.  The two colts are putting on some size too...
