Sandhill Cranes



I'm still really new to this but, I'm pretty darn sure I saw two Sandhill Cranes the other day off of Warm Springs Road in Midway, Utah.  However, my bird book says that Sandhill Cranes are not usually in this area, so I was just wondering.  We heard their distinctive call and saw the two fly by and land in a marshy area of reeds.  I was surprised, they're pretty big birds.  My friend thought they were both males; but I don't know, is there any observable differences in color or patterns to distinguish males from female Sandhill Cranes?  _______________________________________________ "Utah Birds" web site: http://www.utahbirds.org BirdTalk: To subscribe, e-mail: birdtalk-subscribe@utahbirds.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: birdtalk-unsubscribe@utahbirds.org To send a message, e-mail: birdtalk@utahbirds.org _________________________________________________
