Sandhill cranes


Sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis) at Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area, September 30, 2019.  There were about forty sandhill cranes in this field when I got there.  After a few minutes most of them flew off.   This is a view from the crane observation deck overlooking the Goose Pasture Viewing Area.
