Sandhill Crane Dance

Sandhill cranes performing a movement called bill spar and is usually performed by 2 male cranes.  The sandhill crane in the background is in a position referred to as “arch”. The neck is arched up and bill pointed vertically. This is a rare display in Sandhill Cranes seen after spring return to a traditional nesting site. Each spring I watch as the sandhill cranes arrive in their spring migration back to North Routt County and their breeding ground. I see them often at Steamboat Lake this time of year, sometimes in pairs and sometimes there are 3 as they bring their young from the previous year back with them and then leave them to find their own way and mates.

This painting is beautifully framed in a thick gold frame.
