Sandhill Teens

After the Sandhill Crane pair I’d followed in May lost their colts, it was great to find another pair of cranes raising two colts, and they were in the awkward teenage phase. Their feathers were just starting to emerge, and their “bustle” (the batch of tail feathers that droop over the back) was still just a bunch of fuzz feathers, highlighted by the evening sun in this image.
