YOUNG SANDHILL CRANE 

 Photographed by H. and E. Pittman, Manitoba, Canada 

 The differences between Cranes and Herons are much more pronounced in the young than in the 

 adults. Cranes have a downy natal plumage and can run about soon after hatching, while Herons 

 are born comparatively naked and spend several weeks in the nest.
