Baby Sandhill Cranes The male Crane sits on the egg while the female pulls foliage out of the pond in order to build up the nest. The Cranes take turns sitting on the egg for an entire month. They never leave the egg unguarded for fear of hawks and predators in the area. Once the baby is born they carefully guard the baby for the first month. The Sandhill Cranes take the baby out to feed it once the baby is 2 days old.

(about 9 months) The Sandhill Cranes look for predators while the baby eats. It is extremely important that the Cranes feed it constantly in order to secure the safety of the baby. The baby is fed continually from morning till night. The baby is just a few days old and is in need of constant attention. The parents forage for food and with their beaks give the baby any morsels they find. The harmony of the pond is important for the delicate balance of this Crane family.
