Nature: Sandhill cranes and their chicks

[@rr7firefly]

The nature segment on CBS Sunday Morning is always a special highlight. No words, just the delight of flora and fauna in their contextual settings.

I love these lil guys

[@DDee-oi6kn]

I love their beautiful shrill every spring - looking way way up in the sky and seeing flocks of them. Just love them!

[@bbygrlpt2]

Awwww theyre so adorable😩😍😍😍

[@brendacox4359]

I absolutely love this part of the show and wonder what beautiful spot will be on next week. It's relaxing and peaceful eventhough it's only about 2 minutes long. Thank you to the videographers who contribute each piece. You have THE best job. Well, you make it look that way. I appreciate your work and your talent! You bring this viewer JOY!

These things are around my house all the time. They've become my favorite bird very quickly.

Happy Mothers Day Sandy!

[@diannhall7564]

Wonderful! I've seen sandhill cranes in Wisconsin and Montana; and I want to visit Nebraska to see them. Never thought they'd be in Florida too! ! ! Thank you for this wonderful "show"😊

[@stvbrsn]

We have them here in Utah.

these chicks are so perky - lovely to watch - great Mother's Day nature segment-

[@gus473]

"Colt" is the correct name for a baby crane. 😎✌🏼

[@galepatrick1702]

thank you - i'd never heard that before@@gus473

[@galepatrick1702]

and it suits those long legs too-

[@caren9790]

So magical.

[@nancun2837]

Watch how the mother birds show the younger ones how and where to find/eat. Love watching birds where I live and KZbin. Saw a brood in my palmera trees early this morning!

[@ediebaxter6194]

I love watching the nature scenes 😍. Glad they are on ytube.

[@deeatchley8537]

I think if it wasn't for the beauty of nature I would go insane.

[@GratefulDeb270]

Favorite video ever maybe. 💕

[@shahabahmed4630]

Wow sooo cute❤❤

[@TM-yn4iu]

Simple moments are the most sacred, real. Whether watched in a video or firsthand. The latter sometimes missed by many, though it's all around you, even in the urban areas - myself included. Listen you will hear, watch you will see, walk you will feel. The breeze will remind you as it flows across you of how it filled the sails, allowing you to move beyond. How it moves the leaves creating a song that you will forever remember...along with moving the clouds. The clouds shaped and reshaped, as are the dreams while viewing. But listen for the sounds, treasure the most simple of visions that are natural and embrace the wind as it, like time, moves life and thoughts. Just a simple piece from the garage, too much I think - or not...but said

Thee chicks are so cute

[@JThom-yh3ef]

One thing I like about these creatures is that they always have a father figure. The male does a wonderful job doing his part. The only thing about the male is that he needs to quit acting stupid when he looks himself in the mirror 🪞or any reflection.

[@TurboGC8]

These are everywhere in SWFL, and extremely loud during their sunrise calls.

[@therrienmichael08]

5 a.m. I hear one walking by our bedroom window like clock work.

[@stuartbumpus3139]

I’m from Titusville. We are waiting for a couple to show-up with their new chick! (Colt)

[@lblasso]

This is the best, but I don’t want to go online to see the whole thing. Maybe you could eliminate 1 commercial and make this longer during your show 😊.

[@princehamdanbinmohammed7510]

Hello 👋! Assallahmualakum ✌️❤️🙏

[@randquadrozzi5850]

we didn't know the cranes had a nest about 15ft off the road were we walked our dog and we couldn't figure out what was all the noise when we walked by their.

[@SaunieHolloway]

Living dinosaurs 😍

[@STARIZZY458]

My grandma feeds them in florida

[@benkrawiec1576]

The “chicks” are actually called “colts”

[@grandmathompson6031]

How long does it take a egg to hatch

[@Dumballa]

😊

[@SM-Flyers]

FWIW A young sandhill crane is called a colt.

[@gus473]

Aren't sandhill crane babies called "colts," rather than "chicks?" 🤔 Does CBS-NYC know of "Google?" ✌🏼

[@tcfencing9772]

Yes they are colts. I was going to comment on that. They walk immediately after hatching thus the name. Have had the joy of watching about a dozen sets raised to fledge as they visited my yard. Just love them

[@gus473]

@@tcfencing9772 We enjoy watching them too and usually have a pair or two in our fields through summer. Their "dancing" is always fun! Was surprised the video didn't include their distinctive, loud, prehistoric call -- the best part!

[@twilarunyan4377]

Along with all other commenters, love this segment. Link is their vocalizations: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opPRaax_ppySgq8

[@ribos2762]

Why is it called a Sandhill? I don't see any sand hill.
