Sandhill Cranes

I saw my first Sandhill Cranes in Arkansas this week. The 17 cranes (which have a red crown) were found in Lonoke so it was too close to Little Rock not to go in search of them. Sandhill Cranes are rare to Arkansas, but it is not uncommon for them to be spotted in Arkansas each year. They are more common up north. They breed along the eastern border of the United States and in Canada and migrate through Colorado and Texas just east of Arkansas. I actually first saw them on a trip to Nebraska.
