Description
The sandhill crane is a large crane of North America and extreme northeastern Siberia. The common name of this bird stems from their habitat along the Platte River near the Nebraska's Sandhills. This is the most important stopover area for one type of crane where approximately 450,000 of these birds migrating through annually.
These cranes frequently give a loud, trumpeting call that suggests which sounds very prehistoric and can be heard from a long distance. Mated pairs of cranes engage in "unison calling". The cranes stand close together, calling in a synchronized and complex duet. The female makes two calls for every one from the male.
