“Passion or conquest, wander where they will,
Attend upon them still.
But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;”

Sandhill crane offspring can be ready to leave the nest and even start swimming just eight hours after they hatch. Although the chicks are independently mobile, they will stay with their parents up to 10 months after being born and follow them in migration. #wildlife #nature #birdphotography

A Long-billed #Curlew I took a #photo of this morning. I was watching it hunt for food. Is it #hunt? Or would it be considered #gathering? It was just #walking around #digging lol.
