Sandhill Crane colts are in flight training! It takes 60-70 days from hatching to fledging (fully flying). Some may even fledge by the end of July.

Please report any fledged crane colts to Kachemak Crane Watch. We need to
know where and when the colts were able to fly off with the adults. Please include the specific location and other information.

If the colts you have been watching have disappeared or died, please report how they died if you know. Successful fledging and mortality reports help Kachemak Crane Watch determine nesting success for the year compared to previous years. Your Citizen Science reports are vital to KCW monitoring of the nesting season.
Send reports to reports@cranewatch.org or call 907-235-6262.

Enjoy the summer and the cranes!
