A BirdFellow member recently provided us with this wonderful photo of a recently-hatched bird. We look forward to your guesses. Please post them as comments.
Looks like a Sandhill Crane to me.
Hi Dave,
My guess is Sandhill Crane.
Based on:
1. Bald or Shaved Forehead
2. Plumage Color
3. Leg color
4. Bill Color
5. Habitat

I was thinking possibly Sandhill Crane, too. :)
I absolutely concur Sandhill Crane colt.
The bill eliminates any ducks or geese, so we’re left with wading waterbirds. That rusty color is pretty unique to the young Sandhill Crane chicks (colts) we see with their parents in the late spring and summer—though I’ve never seen one that small!
Great photo!
The baby bird is a Sandhill crane.
Sandhill Crane. Here’s my pics of juvenile Sandhill such as this, but different habitat! http://www.tsuru-bird.net/a_species/crane_sandhill/crane_sandhill_greater_chick_summer_manitoba_canada_1a.jpg
IMHO you’ve got the right ansewr!
