Big birds. We’re always excited to see and hear

Big birds. We’re always excited to see and hear sandhill cranes back in town. Their guttural calls announce their presence long before most people see them. We began to see (and hear) these striking birds return last month. The tallest birds in Yellowstone, they stand about 4 feet high and have a wingspan of approximately 6.5 feet. They’ll often arrive well before the park’s spring snow really starts to melt off.

Learn more about sandhill cranes and other spring migratory birds in our Naturalist Notes blog: Early Birds. Find the article through the link in our bio.
