The sandhill crane is both majestic and mysterious. Its smooth, sleek body moves gracefully as it slowly walks the marsh land of the Mississippi River. Occasionally, you may be fortunate enough to spot one or two from spring-to-fall here in the Clinton, IA, or Fulton, IL, area. However, observing nearly 17,000 in their winter homeland in the Southwest is an unforgettable experience!
Photographers Wolf and Linnea Koch of Sterling, IL, will share their collection of photos and observations, made during their memorable trip to Bosque del Apache, NM, to “winter with the sandhill cranes.” Enjoy watching them dance, and listen to their various calls.
