Sandhill cranes at rest        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Sandhill cranes are one of the main reasons that nature photographers flock to the Bosque del Apache wildlife refuge in New Mexico; the other is the numerous . snow geeese.   These are some of my photos of cranes from a November 2010 visit; another page has shots of cranes in flight, and another shows cranes roosting on icy ponds.

Other pictures of cranes and geese at Bosque are here, here, and here; also, look at the Bosque del Apache page for photos from other visits.
