A mated pair of beautiful Sandhill Cranes photographed foraging in the grass in a local neighborhood. Such elegant and stately birds, they are easily recognizable with the distinctive crimson red heart on their forehead and the beautiful gray and sometimes rust plumage.

Hubby and I did not know what to make of this sandhill crane walking around and around the ball park. When we were finished with our walk, the crane was still there doing the same thing.

On Alert
A Sandhill Crane stands perfectly still with me fairly close and remains on alert while shooting some shots. I do like the silent shooting of the mirrorless cameras as my DSLR would have surely scared it off. There were actually quite a few Sandhill Cranes at the Summer Lake Wildlife Refuge today.

Two sandhill cranes fly through sunrise sky, Central Valley, California

I hope you don’t mind what has become a series of photographs of sandhill cranes flying in front of an intensely colorful Central Valley sunrise. Yes, there will be more.

Did someone say ? Yes, yes they did!

Sandhill cranes are the largest species of crane in North America. Here are a few dozen in the shallows on Sauvie Island, north of Portland, Oregon in January of this year. They are migrating through and depend on wetlands for quality food sources and to rest up before the next leg of their journey.

A short video of Sandhill cranes circling and landing in a marsh to join a larger group last weekend on , Oregon. The birds on the wing had been in the marsh in the foreground and took to the air when a pair of bald eagles landed in a tree behind us. At 0:09 you can hear the eagles shrieking and chirping. The cranes landed farther away where a larger group was standing.
