Goose Chase


Verona, Wisconsin, May 3, 2015. We've been watching the crane couple for more than a month, and I wonder if hatching time approaches. The gestation time for Sandhill Crane eggs is 29 to 32 days; we saw the first mating dance on March 25. Papa Crane has grown more territorial with the problem goose. That makes me think the arrival time for the chicks is near.

Aunt Irene will soon be walking the floor in the crane waiting room.
