Sandhill Crane

Steamboat Springs, Colorado

We drove from Steamboat Springs to Stagecoach Reservoir (about 17 miles). We like visiting the wetlands areas and the Yampa River tailwaters (a state park).
Watched this female Sandhill Crane fly in, land, find her nest, settle in, and become unseen.

Good set of shots of this female Crane Don.

Nice crane. That looks to be dense vegetation for a crane, which I think of - perhaps incorrectly - as occupying open swamps and fields.
