"Gar-oo-oo-oo"
As I walked through the shady woods, I was startled by a Sandhill Crane. Evidently he was startled as well, and he began trumpeting something that has been described as "Gar-oo-oo" or as "kukukuroo". I'm not sure what he was trumpeting, but I can tell you it was very LOUD. A crane's call reportedly can be heard for a mile...I believe it.
Sandhill Cranes, almost 4 feet tall (about 120cm), migrate to warmer Southern states in the autumn.
