The luckiest birding moment of 2021 without a doubt. Mother and father crane had just caught a vole, and fed the young crane in front of us. The Reifel Bird Sanctuary biologist had to keep all visitors back as this spectacle unfolded.
I always find it interesting when uploading a photo of a bird to see the photo counter. For example I didn't realize there are 30 photos of Sandhill Cranes on Birdviewing! Here's #31, a bird that was not shy.
