Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy-Photographed in Sun City Center, Florida
As sunset was approaching a Sandhill Crane Family flew in and landed near a pond, the December evening light was wonderful...

Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis)
Whether stepping singly across a wet meadow or filling the sky by the hundreds and thousands, Sandhill Cranes have an elegance that draws attention. These tall, gray-bodied, crimson-capped birds breed in open wetlands, fields, and prairies across North America. They group together in great numbers, filling the air with distinctive rolling cries. Mates display to each other with exuberant dances that retain a gangly grace. Sandhill Cranes are monogamous. Breeding pairs remain together from year to year, maintaining the pair bond by performing courtship displays, remaining in close proximity and calling in unison.
Sandhill Crane populations are generally strong, but isolated populations in Mississippi and Cuba are endangered.
