Sandhill Cranes
QUIET CORNER - CONNECTICT -
You’ll only see a few migrating Sandhill Cranes in Northeast Connecticut during October and November, but that makes each sighting a memorable part of the autumn landscape. During the day, you might spot them foraging in farm fields, looking for leftover grain, seeds, and other food. Keep an eye on the sky, too—especially toward evening, when they fly from the fields to nearby swamps and marshes to spend the night.
Sandhill Cranes usually stay with the same mate for life, sharing a lasting bond. If one partner dies, though, the surviving crane may find a new mate. They can also live for 20 years or more in the wild—a long life for these remarkable birds.
