Sandhill Crane Nest

While I received a heads up yesterday, the news while volunteering at Reifel today was that the resident Sandhill Crane pair are nesting again.

The first egg was laid yesterday and a second should arrive in a day or two. Staff at the sanctuary rebuilt the little island in the centre pond they have favoured earlier in the year. Now the countdown begins for a successful hatching.
