Their call has always reminded me of a pterodactyl or something prehistoric. Cranes are cool.

Neat site Bearmag, Thanks.

I've only heard it once, while I was in YNP. Didn't see the bugger there either but the call is interesting enough on its own.

BTW - I stole the link from the other side. Is it tainted?

:D

That's really cool! Thanks. I am watching it right now. Don't see any cranes but you can hear a couple faintly.

Cottonsox and I went down to the NWR below Dayton, TN and viewed the hundreds of cranes down there.

It was pretty awesome.

Along with a ton of cranes this morning, there is also a deer in the background.

more Sandhill Cranes
Where I live in central CA they made the Sandhill Cranes a commercial event. It's pretty good tho for fans of the cranes. Nowhere near the numbers of cranes on the Platt River tho. They're a huge bird and really great to watch up close.

bearmagnet...johnhens won't mind that you brought this here...if you hadn't I was going to this week-end...I see lots of sandhill cranes around...just 45 minutes north we have a refuge that sees thousands and last year I think every lake I visited in the UP had at least one pair of cranes in residence...looking at them it's easy to see that they descended from dinosaurs....and their cry, I agree, it's prehistoric...wonderful birds....
