Hi Emily. 好几个人说这只小鹤已经夭折了。您知道是怎么回事吗？怎么夭折了呢？

Birdwatchers are all a flutter over a rare tiny chick spotted at Burnaby Lake recently, although there are new concerns the baby bird may be dead.

Two sandhill cranes have been seen at Burnaby Lake with a chick, marking the first known birth of the species in Burnaby.

“It’s quite a big deal,” said George Clulow, organizer of the annual Christmas Bird Count. “It’s the first-ever record of breeding sandhill cranes in Burnaby.”

By Monday, however, Clulow suspected the chick may be missing or dead. In an online forum for birdwatchers, there were unconfirmed reports of the chick’s ailing health - that it wasn’t accepting food and was having trouble lifting its head - and the parents were last spotted flying around the lake vocalizing, apparently crying out in search of their chick.

Sandhill cranes are a long-legged species, with a crimson cap and curved rump feathers. They are not endangered in B.C., but they are rarely spotted in Burnaby, and a birth is even more unusual, as they typically breed in the Interior. Clulow suspects the Burnaby Lake chick is a reflection of a vulnerable population on the upswing.

小沙丘鶴確定不幸了。7/5 Don看到它胃口不好，精神也不好，7/6 Kati 看到它似乎完全没胃口，連頭都抬不起來了。這就是其他鳥友看到的狀況，為什麼我也不明白，還是請教曾老師吧！

謝謝 Emily 為BB 留下可愛的身影.

我有时想它是不是吃撑了？因为有一次我看到它连吃了十几条鱼，那么小的肚子，吃那么多？后来一次，吃了大约三条鱼，觉得这个量还差不多。

有人懷疑喉嚨卡到東西,有人說不可能....但7/6有call Wildlife Rescue Association, 有人來看過,說沒問題,第二天就不見小鶴了.
