A bit of cuteness to brighten your day: Wisconsin sandhill cranes adopt Canada goose gosling

In today's stressful times, everyone can use a little bit of cuteness to brighten their day.

In Madison, Wisconsin, a family of sandhill cranes adopted a Canada goose gosling. Cynthia Carlson recorded the family of four on her YouTube channel. The same video is embedded below (warning: viewers may experience cuteness overload!). WKOW covered the story of the found family, which can be found on YouTube via this link.

An update from the International Crane Foundation's Facebook page features a photo of the family, with the gosling and the sandhill crane colt, now both gangly teenagers, posing next to their proud parents.

Thanks for reading, and I hope everyone has a great day!
