This is the local new born Sand Hill Crane. The baby was born inside the fenced in retention pond and every night the family finds it's way out through the smallest opening at the gate door to feed and wonder around. Consequently they also need to find there way back in every night for night night on the nest. Darn if they don't pace that whole fence line for an hour at least till they figure out where that opening is again.I watched from afar last night behind a bush for at least an hour as they tried to find the opening which they have to squeeze through except the little baby of course. Finally ... they were in again. nature amazes me

I liked the vague sundown light in this and was curious as to what you all thought. I don't normally like fences or "human things" in my pics but this one has meaning.
