Sandhill crane

High Lonesome Nature Reserve

As we watched this crane from a distance, it started calling (a fantastic sound), the calls becoming louder as it continued walking faster and faster and then if lifted off and we could still hear the calls even as it vanished from sight.

Beautifully captured. They do make an unusual sound, there is many in my neighborhood sometimes waking me up in the morning with their calls.

a rich image, and captivating, not just for the birds but also for the compelling flow of the reeds...V

Nice find and image Christine. I haven't seen one of these for a couple of years. The Blackbird or Grackle does seem a bit annoyed or disturbed.

Is that a blackbird perhaps not happy - unlike you - with the crane's vocal presence?
