This friendly crane was spotted along with 5 others outside the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary. What a vocal bunch!

birdlady6000 - I was wondering about that! Thanks for the factoid! I would love to see Sandhill Crane chicks :)
NIce! The Sandhilll Cranes at Reifel that stay all year round started with a rehab crane. A wild crane joined it and they breed every year now. I love to watch and listen to them.
Nice close up. Don't forget to add the scientific name on your spottings.
lovely photo!
