Sandhill Crane

[Ira Runyan]

On Wednesday, I came upon two Sandhill Cranes with one chick at the Viera Wetlands. Just a few days earlier, the pair had in tow two chicks. It has not been a good year for the survival of bird chicks at Viera. All that I have watched this year fell pray to predators. This is a photo of one of the adults........
