Depending on when Sandhill Crane parents started nesting, the 60-70 days it takes to raise a colt to fledging (flight) is about to end, especially for the early nesters. Some colts will likely be flying with their parents by the end of July.
Please report 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 helpful information, as well as your contact information.
If the colts you have been watching have disappeared or died, please report this and 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! Nina Faust ###
