Sandhill Crane Colts

An hours-old Sandhill Crane colt stays warm while getting a piggyback ride from mom. The Sandhill Crane colt in front is a day old. Minutes before this picture was taken, the colts had lots of energy and were play fighting, pushing each other and knocking each other down on the nest. Guess it was time for a break!
