CODE RED!
The young Sandhill colt has somehow suffered a serious injury. I know it's hard to tell from the still pic below, but our darling little baby in the foreground is unable to put any weight on its right leg, forcing it to hop on its left leg to move. It appears to be a hip injury that must have happened today, because yesterday it was fine. The next few days are going to be an enormous challenge, hopefully the adult parent birds will ward off the predators.
