Sandhill Cranes in Waukesha County Wisconsin on February 28, 2023

By | | ,

I did a little birding in Waukesha County this morning and saw 5 Sandhill Cranes. Locations of the Sandhill Cranes were Brookfield and South Kettle Moraine. Two were in a marsh far off the road and 3 were closer at two other locations and I took a couple of photos. The birds seemed to be finding things to eat at all locations. A nice sunny morning out with no wind and temps around 32 degrees. Images were taken on February 28, 2023.

    Great shots Jim. Glad to hear that their beginning to return and can’t wait to hear their call as they get further north.
