A dance with Sandhill cranes

Sandhill crane couples dance with each other. I found this pair in a field west of Bragg Creek and was lucky to be able to watch them.


A few Canada geese watched the dance as well. They seemed to watch with little interest. Far less than me.

The second image is a really good one. It captures every part of the Crane, and shows how proud a species they must be. I hadn’t heard of sandhill cranes until now. Nice work 🙂
