jude Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I love that sound! It's amazing how loud they are. Often I'll hear them and think they're nearby, then barely be able to spot them way up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow it makes me have hope for the world knowing you have a dog named Rusty ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 As an avid birdwatcher, I too find the sandhill crane one of God's amazing creatures ... I tell you what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Gillig Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 I missed them this fall, but this spring I saw them heading north for the first time. Soooo far up there and still easy to hear. Wonder how many years I walked the dog looking down and missed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Ferguson Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 In a wetland area of the lake I fish, I've seen a pair of Sandhills every spring that I assume nest there. Here is one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
