There is a pond near my home which I watched for several weeks. The male sand hill crane was killed, probably by a bobcat, as the feather mass was not far from the pond. the mother would feed and then sit on her egg, with no male to protect her. For about 3 days I never caught her off her nest and then I could hardly see the chick in all the litter in the nest. Next picture, there it was. On its feet looking around for other chicks to play with.
