Sandhill Cranes have a fossil history of 10 million years. Adults are gray and have a red forehead, white cheeks and a long dark pointed bill. They have dark legs which trail behind in flight and a long neck that is kept straight in flight.
Their breeding habitat is marshes and bogs in Canada, Alaska, parts of the midwest and southeastern United States, Siberia and Cuba. They nest in marsh vegetation or on the shore of lakes and rivers.
