Field Notes

Description:

Sandhill Cranes are very large, tall birds with a long neck, long legs, and very broad wings. The bulky body tapers into a slender neck; the short tail is covered by drooping feathers that form a “bustle.” The head is small and the bill is straight and longer than the head.

Habitat:

Farm field

Notes:

Lots of migrating cranes in the cut farm fields.
