Sandhill Crane



This media item will not play in the Internet software you are currently using.

The sandhill crane’s loud, distinctive call is a result of its unusually long windpipe, which is coiled within its breastbone. When flying, sandhill cranes call constantly to keep the flock together. They are found throughout North America.
