#Sandhill Cranes

A day with the cranes.

Sandhill cranes / grulla gris (Antigone canadensis) at Whitewater Draw, Cochise County, Arizona.

The Arizona Game and Fish Department estimates that the overwintering population in the county is about 42,000 cranes this year, with most of the birds occupying Willcox Playa, and only about 13,000 at the draw.

Less than graceful behaviors i have seen from sandhill cranes

Try and catch a chipmunk and then stand still for like a solid min after it ran away- as if confused

Get a piece of it's own down stuck on the corner kf it's mouth

Eat the buds off of all of the peonies in my mom's flower bed, but not the blossoms.

Peck a wild mallard that walked too close to it.

Peck a redwing blackbird that tried to attack it

Scream at the car in the driveway and puff up at it to scare it off

Get a Leaf stuck to back.

Living my life by the code of a Sandhill crane

Sandhill cranes taking off. They look like they are being raptured.

The Net of Indra is a vast, bejeweled matrix spanning and encompassing the whole universe. From every knot hangs a jewel, and each jewel reflects all the other jewels within the net. My father’s life was one jewel hanging from a knot in that infinite web, and in that jewel was reflected my life, and my brothers’ lives, and my mother’s life. —Eugene Richards, “A Life Too Long”

January 18, 2024. Sandhill Crane Flyby!!

I live at the VERY edge of a Sandhill Crane migration route, and I saw a flock of at least 40 flying southwest today at 3:52PM! I haven't seen any in a couple years, and this is the biggest group I've spotted. Usually I catch them with their strung-together rattle calls, but these guys were pretty quiet (just a couple brief rattles today, which was thankfully still enough to make me look up through the trees!). Allegedly it was 28ºF today but felt like 21°F--I hope they were staying warm up there. Safe travels, friends!!

#birds #sandhill cranes #bird photography #(barely lmao sorry y'all) #my photography #SERIOUSLY THIS WAS SUCH A FUCKING DELIGHT I LOVE THEM!!! #and i was SO impressed by how big the flock was!! #usually i spot little groups (6-8) #this one was Impressive #and yeah i absolutely did sprint around the tree cover and take a shitty video of them vanishing off into the distance #(this is how i counted at least forty. i didn't have my glasses on lol) #i do listen in the fall and winter when i'm at my desk because usually i hear the rattles through my window #and then sprint outside to see if i can see them #today my walk was perfectly timed to catch them as i went around the block!!! #which is good cuz they were so quiet lol #if you click and zoom on the picture you can see their Crane-ness better!! #thanks for stellar image quality tumblr lolol
