Great set of images. I love seeing the cranes when they come to the central valley of northern CA. Saw some this week, but nothing like the thousands you will see.

For anyone interested in checking out the Indiana Sandhill Cranes. This is always one of my fall and early winter go to spots. View one of Indiana's greatest wildlife spectacles at Jasper-Pulaski Fish & Wildlife Area. Each fall, thousands of Sandhill Cranes visit the area's shallow marshes from mid-October through mid-December. Crane numbers peak in late November or early December. This website gives you the latest crane count. https://www.in.gov/dnr/fish-and-wildlife/properties/jasper-pulaski-fwa/sandhill-cranes/

Congratulations on your FTOW win. Excellent post!
Thanks for the link. Are they migrating further south when they stop in Indiana?

Great set. #4 for me. I think I'd have to wear ear plugs if the whole gang was there!

Congrats on the win. Great Series. The cranes are starting to arrive at the local refuge now. We have quite a few winter at the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge so I hope to get some shots soon.

Great set! And, yes Indiana is a hotspot for the last 8 to 9 years. Brookville Lake gets about 3,000, and they can be found along highway 50 from Lawrenceburg to Seymour.

p.2 #16Sandhill Cranes return
There is a little town on the outskirts of Brownstown, Indiana called Ewing. There is a square of county roads that make up the bottoms. The farmers leave a small percentage of their crop standing to attract the sandhill crane. 10 years ago they had big numbers (20,000+), but the last couple of years we have spotted 3,000-5,000. Ewing Bottoms is a bit farther drive for fewer sandhill, but I can get closer shots.

That's good to know, thanks! We actually live about 30 minutes from Jasper-Pulaski and saw hundreds of them circling in the air yesterday. The sound of their calls is music to the ears if you love shooting BIF. Loud music! It's a great place to shoot the cranes as well as other wildlife.
