Sandhill Crane Migration
Sandhill crane migration spotted at Pike Lake on Superior National Forest last week. Migration begins in early September and lasts until mid-November, so you still have time to see them flying in formation, if you're lucky 🍀. Make sure your sound is on for this one. #WildlifeWednesday 📷: Sandhill crane video by Steve Robertsen/USDA Forest Service. | U.S. Forest Service-Superior National Forest

At night, sandhill cranes stand on one leg with their heads tucked under their wings, keeping one eye open. They’re unihemispheric sleepers, meaning they use one side of their brain at a time. Besides eyesight they use their hearing to stay safe from predators like coyotes and bobcats splashing through the river. You can also see the movement of stars as a result of earth’s rotation. Without timelapse or long exposure photography it is almost impossible to see this phenomenon. #cranetrust #stars

A Sandhill Crane family having a preening session next to the nature trail. Two of the birds go on alert and I was wondering why, and then I spotted two other Sandhill Cranes flying across the pond, calling as they passed by. After the other Cranes leave it was back to preening. | Jocelyn Anderson Photography

Cranes are back for the winter! 🌾 Every year, thousands of Sandhill Cranes migrate from breeding grounds in the northern U.S., Canada, and even Alaska to spend the colder months in California’s Central Valley. They’re here for one reason: food and open wetlands. Our flooded fields and preserves provide the perfect winter habitat for resting, foraging, and gathering in those iconic evening fly-ins. If you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of them while they’re here, two of the best viewing spots are:

A breathtaking site – Sandhill Cranes swirling in the sky! ✨ In this video, witness these graceful birds migrating north, using warm air currents to “kettle” – circling together to gain altitude before gliding forward on their migration route. This energy-saving technique helps them travel thousands of miles with ease. It’s an amazing site – almost like a dance in the sky! Keep an ear out – you might hear them passing overhead! | Wild Birds Unlimited
