The Sandhill Crane is a tall, elegant crane of North American and northeastern Asian wetlands and grasslands. It feeds by walking through marshes, wet meadows, fields, or open plains for roots, seeds, insects, and small animals. Pairs give loud carrying calls, and many cranes perform graceful bowing and leaping displays.
