Whether stepping singly across a wet meadow or filling the sky by the hundreds and thousands, Sandhill Cranes have an elegance that draws attention. These tall, gray-bodied, crimson-capped birds breed in open wetlands, fields, and prairies across North America. They group together in great numbers, filling the air with distinctive rolling cries. Mates display to each other with exuberant dances that retain a gangly grace.

My favorite big bird! We have them walk through our back yard quite often. I especially love seeing their chicks follow them and take a rest in our backyard to show them off. THey are beautiful - but can be very very noisey with their trumpet calls! Kurt
