Sandhill Crane is a large crane of North America and Northeastern Siberia. Their habitats can be found in marshes and bogs in central and northern Canada and Alaska and parts of mid-western and southeastern United States, Siberia and Cuba. They make their nests in marshy vegetation or on the ground closer to water.

Adult birds are gray with red forehead, white cheeks and long dark pointed bill. Their legs are long and dark and trail behind in flight. They have a long neck that remains straight in flight. Juveniles have reddish brown underparts and grayish upper parts. Both the sexes look identical but the sizes may vary depending upon the species. Sandhill cranes give loud trumpeting calls. With a large wingspan of up to 6 feet, sandhill crane is a very skilled soaring bird similar in style to hawks and eagles. Birds can stay aloft for many hours by utilizing thermal columns of rising air in the lower altitudes of earth’s atmosphere. They feed on insects, rodents, seeds, berries and aquatic plants and mammals. Foxes, coyotes, eagles, wolves and bobcats are their natural predators.
