Description
Sandhill Cranes (Antigone canadensis) at sunrise. These tall, gray-bodied, crimson-capped birds breed in open wetlands, fields, and prairies across North America. This image was made at sunrise in the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico, as the sun lit the corn field rows behind. Sandhill Cranes are considered one of the oldest birds on earth. Fossil bones have been found in Nebraska and dated at 10 million years old. Thanks for looking.
