Sandhill crane migration spotted at Pike Lake on Superior National Forest last week. Migration begins in early September and lasts until mid-November, so you still have time to see them flying in formation, if you're lucky 🍀. Make sure your sound is on for this one. #WildlifeWednesday 📷: Sandhill crane video by Steve Robertsen/USDA Forest Service. | U.S. Forest Service-Superior National Forest

Five fast facts about loud but lovely sandhill cranes

The Sandhill Crane’s call is a loud, rolling, trumpeting sound whose unique tone is a product of anatomy: Sandhill Cranes have long tracheas (windpipes) that coil into the sternum and help the sound develop a lower pitch and harmonics that add richness. Sound on! 🔊The unique sound of many cranes calling at the same can be heard in this video captured on 12/29/2022.
