Mama Sand Crane and her baby

We visited Thousand Trails today and we saw a Mama Sand Crane with her baby. This was maybe the one that we watched set on her egg. The male and female cranes take turns setting on the egg. The day before it is to be hatched, the Mama rolls it into the water and cleans it, then the next day the egg hatches!! God's plan in action!!!

faithful to the unhatched offspring!!
male and female share turns keeping watch over the nest


she has friends flying around to keep her company
