The Bird of the Day theme is "headshots", so I'll post these.

A male Greater Sandhill Crane is looking straight at the photographer. He's standing upright and giving a look. His feet are wet a few inches up from the ground as he just walked through a wet ditch.

Uncropped and unedited. Here's a Sandhill Crane looking straight at you. Good feather details since he allowed me good proximity after walking right past me. (No time for edits this evening, but still wanted to post something.)

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.

I spent 4 hrs and walked 5 miles today in my favorite wildlife preserve and didn’t see much…went to the store and saw this cute little family!

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.

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.

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.
