Great bird photos too! A Hutterite friend told me that young Sandhill cranes (called colts), seek out depressions in the ground and then lie flat on their belly with their beaks straight out - in order to escape detection by predators. He said that they come across them while driving their tractors down trails surrounding the fields, and unfortunately, often can't stop in time to avoid squashing them. Have you seen this strange defence behaviour - or was my friend pulling my leg?
