Good news! Our favorite pair of Sandhill cranes have successfully hatched two colts again this year. They look to be just a few weeks old.

I’ve enjoyed watching these diligent parents raise babies over the past four years. Hoping to watch these two cute colts grow up strong like their siblings before them; with parents like these they’ve got a great head start.

the sandhill cranes are back! I got to see some mating displays, which apparently involve tossing things in the air and hopping around (｡>ヮ< )

#my photography! #bird photography #birding #birds #sandhill crane #I went at sunset instead of dawn for the first time (with my camera) and it was so great #the light wasn't great for my old camera but all the people cleared out and it was so serene #and the frogs! gosh after the sun went down they immediately got louder #and their ribbiting echoed off the water and it was wonderful all around me #and when the sun was setting all the swallows got one last meal in #and once it was too dark for me to see for the most part I saw the bats ( ♡∇♡ ) #I could hear them sort of fluttering around me #and I could hear geese flying around even though I couldn't see them #it was amazing I'm excited to go again

Sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) can be found across much of North America and part of northeast Siberia. Most populations migrate south for the winter, forming flocks of upwards of 10,000 birds.

#id in alt #sandhill crane #birds #animal art #digital art #oops originally i did what i rarely now do and just copy+pasted the species name from the wiki blurb w/out checking it elsewhere #without reading it at all apparently bc i came back later and #did a double take because surely i would have remembered the genus being Antigone. SURELY #i don't know what's going down in taxonomy world but it has been changed to Grus which is what iucn fws etc have listed #as i should have known/remembered in the first place with as much as ive read about them lately

A street around the corner from my house borders a marsh where this Sandhill Crane family lives. They visit our neighborhood frequently! The little darlings!

April

April is the month of expectations and possibilities. A leucistic Sandhill Crane certainly qualifies for the latter.

Sandhill cranes are some of the first birds that come back to the Midwest.

As this one prepares to jump a puddle, it shows us just how huge the feathers on this large bird really are.

Perhaps one day I will find one and see it up-close.

"Found in several scattered areas of North America, Sandhill Cranes reach their peak abundance at migratory stopover points on the Great Plains. The early spring gathering of Sandhills on the Platte River in Nebraska is among the greatest wildlife spectacles on the continent, with over a quarter of a million birds present at one time. Although they are currently very common, their dependence on key stopover sites makes them vulnerable to loss of habitat in the future."

A weird and wonderful bird to look at, the sandhill crane stands 1.3 metres tall and is the oldest bird species on the planet.
