Gone?

We were happy the other day when the crane family returned to the nest. Yesterday, they didn't come back to the pond.

Here's how the cranes sounded during that last night we heard them:


Verona, Wisconsin, May 11, 2015. We hope they stop by again for a visit.

Is that normal behavior once the chicks (colts) are ambulatory?

I think it might be based on what I read.

hope they are ok?

I hope so too, Daniel. In the last few weeks I've been studying up on cranes. I read yesterday that the chicks can follow their parents in a territory up to 200 acres wide. The chicks can walk really quickly.
