One of my favorite birds! Def a sandhill. Can't wait to start hearing them up by me!

I'd agree. I've lived in that area and Sandhills are fairly common there. This is a family group, with this year's chick (sometimes referred to as a "colt") on the far right. (Grus canadensis tabida--the Greater Sandhill Crane).

I can't see them clearly but I would guess Sandhill Cranes.
