Description
A group of Sandhill Cranes ( Antigone canadensis ) heading south from a stopover in northern Indiana. This particular stop off has abundant feeding areas where they can refuel and rest for the trip ahead.
Within the last few decades, Sandhill Cranes have greatly expanded their nesting range and numbers in the upper Midwest, a population that migrates southeastward toward Florida for the winter. Most populations now stable or increasing, but still vulnerable to loss of habitat. Degradation of habitat at major stopover points for migrants could have serious impact on species. Localized races in Mississippi and Cuba are endangered.

I love these natural shots you are getting of the migrating cranes. It was a pleasure to view this wonderful and named bird image that is now exhibited among the homepage features for the group, Wild Birds Of The World - A Nature Photography Group. L/F
