Sandhill Crane

Grus canadensis

Description:

Most sandhill cranes live in freshwater wetlands. They are opportunistic eaters that enjoy plants, grains, mice, snakes, insects, or worms. They often dig in the soil for tubers and can sometimes cause significant crop damage, which brings them into conflict with farmers.

Habitat:

Found in the Monte Vista Wildlife Refuge in the San Luis Valley in Colorado.
