A sandhill crane glides gracefully on a breeze during the Festival of the Cranes celebration at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in San Antonio, New Mexico. They land in an open field to search for leftover grain and insects to eat. Sandhill crane plumage is grey in color, however, it frequently becomes stained giving them a mottled appearance. This staining can become even more prominent during the breeding season. Sandhills are large, graceful birds. Unlike herons, sandhill cranes keep their necks outstretched, and straight in flight, and their legs dangle behind them.
