The two young colts in the foreground are now about 7/8 adult size. Their legs are turning the black color of mature birds, but their beaks are yet to turn and the red feathers of their foreheads are yet to appear. They are just now learning take-off and landing procedures by scooting across the yard with wings flapping, gaining just a couple of feet of altitude before quickly settling down. It won't be long before they'll be taking short flights.
