#sandhillcrane pair, building a nest 🪶🐦
Female Greater Sandhill Crane lifting her bustle feathers to catch the breeze after getting off the nest. She was changing shifts with the male taking turns keeping the eggs warm. The bustle feathers are often kept tightly together and hanging down a bit, so it was fun to see how big those feathers are.

A male Greater Sandhill Crane standing in front of some red dogwood branches. He is a large gray bird with a red skin patch on his head, a long beak, and amber eyes. Since I have learned about the many Sandhill Crane subspecies, you may notice that I will reference them more often as the "Greater Sandhill Crane" since that is the main subspecies in Wisconsin. They are the largest Sandhill Crane species coming in at 4 feet tall and weighing about 12 pounds.

A Sandhill Crane male is strutting around it's habitat foraging for food.
Sandhill Crane strutting around it's habitat foraging for food. It has been cold here and I don't think the earth worms have surfaced much yet. We got alot of rain this weekend tho. That might help. Cranes eat many things, but earthworms are a favorite of theirs.

Taken with my phone, Sandhill cranes congregating in field.
Sandhill Cranes migrating. There has been much industrial development here where they migrate. I haven't seen the flock in 2 years. This farmer allowed the field to keep the ground cover encouraging the cranes to land. Taken with phone.

Close-up of a sandhill crane from the neck up. The neck is a light brown and is straight up with no curve. The cheeks appear just a little lighter. The top of the head is a brilliant red and the eye appears red also. The crane has a long black pointed beak.

A whooping crane flies over a field. It had crossed the hiking path thinking the sandhill cranes were going in that direction. When it realized they were not, it returned to them
Two sandhill crane and one whooping crane fly toward the water
Not necessarily my best photos for March, but my favorite encounter was the whooping crane with its sandhill crane friends.
