I've only ever seen cranes at wildlife centers. Have you ever seen a wild crane?
I seen couple of wild cranes in my country. I mainly seen some in wetland areas.
I live in Florida, and sandhill cranes are a common occurrence in the wild here. In fact, there exist special signs that warn drivers about sandhill crane crossing!
Lovely Birds🕊🦅. Adorable 🥰 Thank you God for making these birds 🦢possible👌
Hi you two! This reminds me of everyday after work. I get off at 3. I go outside and guess what I see? 3 Sandhill cranes. And one is a juvenile. I'm not sure of it's age. It doesn't have the adult coloring yet. They are giant! We have a big pond beside our building too. And they travel there everyday to eat in the grassy areas first. I always get so excited to see them! I so wish I could take a pic and share like you guys do with us. Maybe one day. ☺️
Since you mentioned "Rails". I think this should be on your list too.
whoa these birds can live for quite a while!🤩 Awesome video AFF, learned a bunch!😁
They are beautiful birds!
