As another Sandhill Crane pair flew above this guy he abruptly launched into a massive bugling binge to announce his own territory. The bugling sound of a Sandhill Crane can be heard for 2.5 miles.

Nice capture.
Thanks John. I wish could attach sound to this image.
I used to live in Middleton, Wisconsin next to Pheasant Branch Conservancy. There were at least 2 pairs living there and we could hear their calls constantly. They make great “music” and this image brings it back. Thanks
I’m glad you can connect with the image John. I too love their music.
Love the sandhill pic! I’ve certainly heard them enough times but can’t say I’ve seen one in this position before.
Looks like he’s waiting to be fed!
He’s actually fed up with the competition for his territory.
