    Oh boy Al, you have that right and the parents and chicks are ranging further too. Needed of course with larger food needs for the chicks. Cool thing is both chicks are doing very well.

    From the photos, I get the impression one chick is distinctly bigger then the other?

    Very true Al and I notice that the larger one gets the lion's share of the food.

    Pat its hard to watch sometimes but nature is very pragmatic. If the year is a very lean one, the smaller chick will not survive as the larger stronger one will get the food. If the year is a good one with lots of available food, The smaller weaker one will probably have a better chance of surviving.

    Al, in my experience with these birds (over the years) it is rare for a pair to raise two chicks but this seems to be a good year as I have seen quite a few pairs with two chicks where the chicks are quite a bit older then the chicks in these pictures. So I am hopeful both chicks will make it.

    So Am I . cranes are not exactly thriving as habitat shrinks. They could use a boost in population.
