Sandhill crane migration spotted at Pike Lake on Superior National Forest last week. Migration begins in early September and lasts until mid-November, so you still have time to see them flying in formation, if you're lucky 🍀. Make sure your sound is on for this one. #WildlifeWednesday 📷: Sandhill crane video by Steve Robertsen/USDA Forest Service. | U.S. Forest Service-Superior National Forest

Sandhill cranes are monogamous and mate for life, usually breeding two young hatchlings. They forage together for seeds, berries, insects, earthworms, snakes, lizards, frogs and more. These beautiful birds live near open prairies, grasslands, wetlands and ponds or lakes, so be cautious as you travel near these areas.

A Sandhill Crane family having a preening session next to the nature trail. Two of the birds go on alert and I was wondering why, and then I spotted two other Sandhill Cranes flying across the pond, calling as they passed by. After the other Cranes leave it was back to preening. | Jocelyn Anderson Photography

🔊 Flocks of birds in the sky aren’t always geese. Sandhill cranes are currently migrating to their breeding grounds in Wisconsin! The sandhill crane’s call is described as bugle like, compared to geese which have a distinct honk. Geese fly in a tight V pattern, but sandhill cranes fly in looser, undulating patterns. Here’s a clip of sandhill cranes making their way overhead today! | Forest Preserve District of DuPage County

Sandhill Cranes have an elegance that draws attention, but remember, with all wildlife, make sure to keep a safe distance, don't approach or engage! These tall, gray-bodied, crimson-capped birds breed in open wetlands, fields, and prairies across North America. Sandhill cranes may have been present in Massachusetts prior to the 1600's, but for hundreds of years these birds were only occasionally observed in New England.

Sandhill cranes spend most of their lives in freshwater wetlands, including marshes, wet grasslands, and river basins. One of the most beautiful natural phenomena in the United States is the annual congregation of the sandhill cranes, where, for a month each March, more than 500,000 sandhill cranes converge on the Platte River basin. Here, they have the chance to find mates, where they perform dancing displays, and afterward mate for life. When the pair reaches the northern breeding grounds, the

Cranes are back for the winter! 🌾 Every year, thousands of Sandhill Cranes migrate from breeding grounds in the northern U.S., Canada, and even Alaska to spend the colder months in California’s Central Valley. They’re here for one reason: food and open wetlands. Our flooded fields and preserves provide the perfect winter habitat for resting, foraging, and gathering in those iconic evening fly-ins. If you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of them while they’re here, two of the best viewing spots are:

We’re so glad to see this pair strutting through the prairie! In spring, sandhill cranes migrate north to their breeding grounds and paired cranes tend to return to the same nesting site each year. Typically mating for life, sandhill cranes usually start breeding around the age of four, and young birds that aren’t quite ready to breed hang out in groups, called bachelor flocks. In Wisconsin, breeding sandhill cranes return in early March and select grassy nesting sites near open water. By mid-Ma

Get Real. Wildlife. Period. on Instagram: "I was so happy to record this! According to National Wildlife Federation: "Sandhill cranes have mostly grayish feathers, but the shade of gray can vary widely. Although the feathers are gray, sometimes they can have a reddish-brown appearance. This is because sandhill cranes preen themselves by rubbing mud on their feathers and mud from iron-rich environments is often red." Why do they preen with mud? According to Cool Green Science: "Many have offered
