Sandhill Crane


We had the privilege on Saturday of seeing very rare Whooping Cranes as well as Sandhill Cranes at the Calgary Zoo Ranch, known as the Devonian Wildlife Conservation Centre, located about 10 kilometers south of Calgary near DeWinton. This particular bird pulled a downy feather from its body and kept putting its bill through the fence. Almost seemed like an offering - but not a wise thing to accept, as that beak is long and very pointed, LOL! I love the colour of their eyes! I dislike taking photos with wire fences included, but there was no way I was going to poke my lens through the fence, LOL!
"The Zoo ranch is a 320-acre captive breeding facility, and is not open to the public. The ranch also serves as a Zoo quarantine and holding area for everything from elk to zebras.
