Sandhill Cranes at Bosque del Apache in January exhibit fascinating behaviors. During this time, they gather in large flocks, creating a spectacular sight. At dawn, the cranes leave their roosting sites in the wetlands, filling the sky with their graceful, synchronized flights. They spend their days foraging in nearby fields, using their long bills to probe for seeds and insects. Their distinctive trumpeting calls can be heard as they communicate with each other. In the evening, they return to the wetlands, performing elegant dances that include bowing, jumping, and flapping their wings, showcasing their social interactions and bonding rituals.
