Sandhill Crane
One of a couple that stayed this spring but did not have babies. There is at least one other couple that did have a baby, or maybe two couples (if the same pair wasn't counted twice). This crane and its companion stayed near the Auto Tour Route, but the parent cranes stayed back away from people at the (now closed) Kiwa trail. I'm wondering if this crane might not have been born here last year or the year before last.
