Sandhill Cranes

Sandhill Cranes mate for life. They begin their courtship as young adults by doing elaborate dances to attract a mate. They mate in early spring and lay 2 eggs. Colts will be up and about as soon as 8 hours after hatching. The colts remain with their parents about 10 months. We’ve recently had 2 sets of colts and now have 3 sets in different stages of development. Vic has been taking pictures of these birds for the past few months and has created a timeline. Dates are approximate. Nikon D850, Tamron 600 G2.
