Great captures friend!! The photo quality is really good!!👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Coastal Bay!! I appreciate that!! They are amazing birds!!
I live in an area where they come to spend their summers. They are protected here, so no hunting whatsoever. They are beautiful birds, but in mating season they are loud enough that you might start to think otherwise. Have you ever seen them kill a snake? They pick them up by the tail and crack them like a whip, which doesn't end well for the snake.
No, I haven’t never seen them eat a snake before but that is just too interesting!! I totally agree with you they are very beautiful birds and deserve to be protected to the best of Department Of Natural Resources abilities and our own abilities! Thank you for sharing this because I did not know that!!
Very beautiful upload my friend🙋♂️stay connected 🙋♂️

Such a beautiful bird. We used to see them in Florida during the mating and hatching season. Their mating dance is really something to witness. Thanks so much for sharing Gracie. Had no idea they were in TN too.
Thank you so much Paul!! I haven’t never seen their mating dance before but I bet that’s something to see!! They are located just outside of Cleveland, Tennessee in Birchwood. It was an amazing sight seeing them all together!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!!

Interesting facts
Thank you Naomi!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! They are amazing birds!!
Very good friend
Thank you Yesid!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!!
Very interesting Gracie, an amazing recovery in population , it must have been accompanied by changes in hunting regulations (?) as I imagine with corn and wheat in their diet they wouldn’t necessarily be so popular with farmers .
Thank you Chris!! It certainly is a amazing recovery and I’m so proud to see them thriving!! There is hunting regulations. They can only be hunted at certain periods. I am sure the farmers aren’t to pleased either! Lol!! The good news is our wildlife officers make sure that the cranes have plenty too eat without interfering too much with the farmers crops! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
@@photographyadventuresbygraciel smart move a win win, :)
Thanks for sharing these facts about the Sandhill Cranes. I saw three of them for the first time walking on a grassy side of the road in Bay Lake, Florida. We were on our way to Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World at that time. They’re quite amazing to see up close, even though our sighting of them was fleeting. I found the fact about Sandhill Crane hatchlings to leave the nest 8 hours after hatching to be so cool! I guess that’s why some people call them colts. I hope you had a Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
That’s awesome Brianna!! Everyone loves Disney even Sandhill Cranes! 😜 Ain’t that amazing that the babies can leave the nest that early?! They are incredible animals!! I did have a great Christmas! I hope you and your family did as well!!
@@photographyadventuresbygraciel It seems like a lot of Florida’s native and wild birds love Disney World. Lots of White Ibises inside the parks when I went this time. 😁 Anyway, my family and I had a nice Christmas. Although, I am a bit under the weather. I don’t think it’s COVID, but just a slight cold. 🤧 On the bright side, I also think it’s so sweet that Sandhill Cranes made for life. Thanks again, and Happy New Year! 🥳🎉
@@BirdsandGhibliFan Oh no!! I hope you get to feeling better Brianna!! Happy New Years to you and your family as well!!
@@photographyadventuresbygraciel Aw, thanks! Thankfully, I am a lot better than I have been, so that’s a good sign, and I tested negative for COVID-19. 😮💨😅 Also, there was a typo in my last comment; I meant to say, “mate” instead of “made for life”. Here’s to a happy New Year in 2022! 🥂🎆🎊
Beautifully done Gracie
Thank y’all so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! It was an amazing sight seeing all of them!!
Interesting shots of the cranes. Greetings:)
Thank you Stanislaw!! I appreciate that!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video of them!! They are amazing birds!! Greetings to you as well!!
Nice job as always, big like my friend 👍 and Happy New year 2022
Aweee! Thank y’all so much!! I appreciate that!! Happy New Year!!
great content as usual Gracie!
Thank you Bird Watching Life!! I appreciate that!!
Greeting Gracie! As always fabulous images and wonderful slideshow. When these guys fly down to Florida, the feast on rodents, baby birds, snakes and frogs. They seem to really enjoy Anole lizards. They actually entered my parents sunroom grab a few while I was setting having my morning coffee! I chased them off. We closed off the entrance ways to protect the Anole in my mom's greenhouse, because we need them to control the insect inside. I was surprised at their boldness there. They weren't at all concerned about us humans. When unloading groceries, they would try snooping through the bags. I suspect they we associating us with food. Perhaps people in the areas feed them. Anyway, great stuff Gracie, I always look forward to your videos. They're an interesting species and quite handsome. Happy New Year my friend.... 🥳
Hello George!! Thank you so much!! They are incredible animals!! I don’t know that I would like them going through my groceries. They might steal my donuts! 😜 LOL!! Happy New Year and take care!!
Wonderful 😊☺️😊☺️😊☺️

So beautiful
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!!
We have lived on a small 110 acre lake in east Central Wisconsin for the last 22 years. Every year we watch a pair of Sandhills spend their summer patrolling the edge of the lake looking for frogs and snakes. We wish that they would hunt together, but they don't. They head south in October.
Oh my goodness!! That’s awesome Allen! We normally do not see ours here until around January-February. They are such incredible animals! I can see them very much enjoying a lake! I wonder why they don’t eat together but ours here get into fights sometimes when the other one crosses the other ones path! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Very good my friend..🙋♂️stay connected💔💔
Thank you friend!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!!
I live in South Florida and we have had a Sandhill Crane come to our back porch door everyday for the past week. I feel so sad for it because it’s alone….maybe looking for a mate. I have a few parrots and they just look at each other through the window. The crane makes a gurgle sound sometimes, not sure what that means. It’s such a beautiful creature, I feel so Blessed when it visits.
We see these a lot in Florida and they are very vocal! You got some great shots Gracie ❤️
That’s awesome Memaw Matters!! Yes they are VERY vocal!! Hahaha!! 🤣 Thank you so much!! I appreciate it!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!!
Just so beautiful, Thank You.

Hello! Thank you so much AMARILIS!! Welcome to the channel!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! You have a new friend as well!!
I am dying to go to the huge migration in Nebraska one year. Half a million sandhill cranes in one area.....I am dying to go! Definitely a bucket list thing for me.
I have heard Nebraska has tons of them!! I hope one day you get to go!! I would say their was easily thousands of cranes here but not a half a million!! That would be too cool!!
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! They are amazing birds!!

So I live in Connecticut and have been hunting and fishing in the woods my whole life. I’m filming a bald Eagle family and I look across the lake and i see some strange bird. It’s just out of my scopes range so it’s a little pixelated but it’s not a heron. And I’ve never seen a crane here at all. I might post a clip to see what you crane aficionados think. Anyone from up New England way ever see or hear of cranes this way?
Hey Judd!! Oh wow! That’s awesome to be filming a Bald Eagle family! They are such incredible birds! I truly does sound like a crane! Maybe one got caught off course?! Here in the South East I hear sometimes of Snowy Owls being spotted and they are supposed to stay up North during migration but some get caught off course. However I haven’t been lucky enough to have one visit my area. Maybe one day though! I would love to see the video though! That’s awesome!!
Amazing fact, they're omnivores, not vegan. They eat whatever they can find.
