We have five pretty large tanks on the place here and a white sandhill crane has taking up permenant residence. He fishes all five ponds.
I was running the brush hog knosking the tops off the weeds and he was fishing the tank I was mowing around.He (or she) is solid white.I'll bet he made ten trips around the pond walking slowly.
Then all at once he was walking at a pretty good clip and I saw another crane on the other side.
It was a sorta dark grey.I stopped the tractor to see what was gonna happen when he got to the other side.Now that was the first time in my life I got to witness to sandhill cranes fighting.
And I mean they we're serious.Better than any rooster fight I've been too. It went on for about twenty five minutes and finaly the grey one had enough and flew off.
