Sandhill Cranes (Antigone canadensis), mother with "colt", family Gruidae, order Gruiformes, found over much of North America

Crane chicks are sometimes referred to as “colts”.

Sandhill Cranes breed in the far north of North America, and overwinter in the southern US and northern Mexico.

There are small separate southerly breeding populations in Mississippi, Florida, and Cuba, as well.
