Grus japonensis

Adult with chicks.
 
I wonder what chance the righthand chick will grow up?:(

It was a good deal smaller and much less confident - the whole time I was there it stayed hunched up like that as well. That said, it seemed OK otherwise, and was trotting about after the adults well enough.
 
The parents raised both chicks last year, so provided the smaller one is healthy, it should have a good chance.
