Description
Greater Sandhill Cranes,species- Grus Canadensis,Height 4 ft, wing span 6- 7.5 ft. life span 25 years.
Some grain farmers like to refer to these magnificent large birds as �Rib eye in the sky.� I found these guys down stream from the Colorado river at the confluence of the Colorado River and the Salton Sea feeding on grain at the Sonny Bonno NWR. I hope to see their great migration back up the Colorado to the Yampa Valley later this month.
