Some baby Sandhill Cranes hatched late last week at Orlando Wetlands Park. The two-day-old birds were the focus of lots of attention not just from their parents, but also from bird watchers and photographers at the park.
Incidentally, baby Sandhill Cranes are called “colts,” according to Google.
The website says, “Baby sandhill cranes are called colts, because of their long strong legs. Sandhill cranes mate for life and lay two eggs that incubate for about a month. Both parents take turns sitting on the eggs. A day after hatching, the colts are able to travel with their parents. “
