Soaring sandhill crane

Antigone canadensis

The sandhill crane (Antigone canadensis) is a beautiful bird. It’s one that you’ll often hear before you see. The haunting call of the sandhill crane is almost prehistoric in its piping, trembling tones. It’s a traveler by nature, migrating vast distances with an unwavering sense of purpose. Even in flight, there’s something both powerful and serene about its presence.
