Sandhills compete with other herbivorous birds for the same resources. A single Canada goose can be seen in the background as the camera pans right. Where there's one, there's often a dozen more. Perhaps your Sandhills were warning of the greedy neighbors.
Hah. That's just "FJB" in crane-speak. They're probably just replying to a flock of notoriously left wing Canadian geese overhead. Why left wing? They fly in circles. Why Canadian? They crap everywhere then head North.
Saw March of the Penguins for the first time last night. I was left with more questions than before I saw it. Most observations of Critters seem to work that way. They live their lives beyond our ken.
You know it's spring when they arrive. There is so much more migratory wildlife than there was 50 years ago. I know I've said it before but if you really want to help wildlife and conservation buy hunting and fishing licenses even if you don't do either and buy state annd federal waterfowl stamps. All the money goes to conservation and in the case of waterfowl stamps, habitat.
I remember the first time I heard a sandhill crane. It sounded nothing like what I expected, but now that I know what they sound like I can't remember what it was I expected. I love seeing them around, though.

We get Sandhill's on our property and they always sound absolutely prehistoric!

Crane crane goose.
Lovely way to start the day.
Love it. Great timing, Ann.
At the same time and place, I caught — video'd — a Semipalmated Plover. It was motoring across the parking lot.
