Sand Hill Crane in trouble?
Driving north on Morse Blvd between 466 and San Marino Drive on the right hand (east) side of the road in the grass stood a sand hill crane next to another sand hill crane who was lying in the grass. We have seen these birds all over, including in our yard, but have never seen one lying down. I didn't think too much about it but when returning home 45 minutes later, they both were still there in the same positions. I certainly hope the one wasn't struck by a vehicle and the mate guarding her/him. I wanted to call someone but have no idea who to call or if anyone would even respond since they are wild birds. If anyone has any ideas please respond.
