The infamous winter SAND HILL CRANE FLY IN of Wilcox, Arizona



In several places, the sand hill cranes gather either to winter...or stop during the spring migration north. If your lucky...you'll find them.


This flock was hanging around Wilcox, Arizona...right smack down south in the desert. Unusual upland wetlands bird...to be doing winters in the desert southwest?. But, oddly enough...this part of Arizona has a lot of standing water?

If you've never seen a muttering flock of Sand Hill Cranes wing over head with outstretched wings measuring seven feet.......you just don't know what America is all about.

This crane is...a majestic bird.
