Poor Baby All Alone

This morning as I looked outside I noticed a little baby crane out there all alone. We often enjoyed watching this birds wandering around our neighborhood so having a crane in my front yard was no surprise. What was a surprise was seeing such a young one all alone. We have rarely seen any of this type of bird by itself, especially all alone. Usually they are in little groups of two, three, or four. I ran and got my camera and took a picture. Unfortunately the photo is terrible. I really have to learn how to take pictures. I wonder why this baby was wandering around alone.

Looks like it's out of focus - check your camera settings.

@rebelann He was back in my yard this morning, all alone. I wonder if the last time he saw his family was in this little area and that is why he is hanging around.

You can practice focusing your camera. What camera were you using?

@HazySue Not familiar with it but you can just practice and try to tinker your camera to find its focus.

It must have been searching for drink or food?

@HazySue He might be a poet, searching for his lost verses?

It is rather odd to see a crane alone especially a little one.,

I don't know. I hope not. They are family oriented birds.
