    I love cranes, great photo.

    Some other interesting facts about Sandhill Cranes from whatbird.com:

    Sandhill Cranes are noted for their elaborate courtship displays. Two displays are used to form mating pairs while three other displays occur only between mates and serve to maintain the pair bond.
    They frequently preen with vegetation and mud stained with iron oxide resulting in a reddish-brown color rather than their natural gray.
    A group of cranes has many collective nouns, including a “construction”, “dance”, “sedge”, “siege”, and “swoop” of cranes.
