A pair of Sandhill Cranes in a pasture with Bulls looking for food
Pasture lands and marshy or swampy areas where frogs and other foods can be easily found...except this year when we continue to have snowfall and very cold evening temperatures
We've had a pair of Sandhill Cranes in this area for at least four years now. There are another pair on a dirt road (pasture land as well) heading towards Glendalough State Park, another pair off 5 and even more near Little Round Lake off Hwy 5 as well. I usually only see them at dusk and dawn but got lucky this day catching them out during mid day, perhaps due to hunger and having a harder time finding food this year.
