While there I saw their resident pair of Sandhill Cranes. The birds are relatively rare so imagine my surprise when last year a pair showed up at the farm. <\/p>\n<p>They are back this year&#8211;with a baby. They are often around in the early mornings, especially on the weekends when there is not a whole lot of activity going on. This Sunday I saw them in the caretakers garden. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px solid; BORDER-LEFT: 0px solid; BORDER-TOP: 0px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px solid\" src=\"http:\/\/images.quickblogcast.com\/7\/2\/6\/0\/8\/191317-180627\/DSC0654.JPG?a=97\"><\/p>\n<p>The baby and other parent were in among the corn. Unfortunately it looks like there is something wrong with one of the baby&#8217;s wings, as it doesn&#8217;t seem to fold right across it&#8217;s back. I am hoping it will resolve itself and haven&#8217;t pointed it out to the children who enjoy looking for the cranes whenever them come. <\/p>\n<p>Two likes to sneak up for a closer look. But being a momma myself I know this year that baby could change things a bit with our birds. One day Avril and Two got probably within 15 feet of them before they noticed. I was keeping an eye on them. Good thing I was because while the mom and baby ran one direction the father lowered his head and circled around in the flanking motion. I warned them and they were able to escape without harm. Now we look from a safer distance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was in college I went to visit my grandparents in Florida (they are snow birds) for my school&#8217;s J-term.
