Verona, Wisconsin, May 10, 2015. The crane family wandered during most of the day. We wondered whether they had left permanently. Everyone has settled back into the nest just now.
I learned today that crane chicks are called "colts" because they start walking so quickly after hatching. I also learned crane chicks can grow as much as one inch each day.
Yes, I've named them: "Ruby" and ... "Amber."

An inch a day??? That's insane!
That explains why it looks like they are growing before our eyes, as the saying goes!
You've named them?
We're not going to have tears and separation anxiety when they fly off, are we?
Yes, I might. That's why I inked to that story in the "left permanently" link: empty nest.
You're good people.
