  • We have cranes migrating here too and flying over our house! I love their calls! And I hate humans who hunt any animal! We have to learn to live together in peace! Thanks for the video!

  • قال الله تعالى" وَمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلا طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلاَّ أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ "

    There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. nothing have we omitted from the book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their lord in the end

  • Spotted a flock of a few hundred over our house in Roswell, GA today. They were flying southwest.

  • Saw a flock of them over Dayton, Ohio today. Gorgeous sounds.

  • Beautiful, interesting video. I just saw a crane fly-in at the Lodi Sandhill Crane Festival in The San Joaquin Valley in California. We are fortunate that the cranes have made such a remarkable comeback over the years. Thank you farmers.

  • you can see 100000 of the common carne in Agamon-Hula Park in Israel !!~30000 wintering there! beautiful

  • one north of boston last month. rare!

  • @MrAnalBleeding oh,holy cow,wait a second here.... :Q.

  • Any one know why I can't watch lie half of these videos?

  • you probably dont live in the US, so people from outside the US can't watch them :( me being one of them :P

  • It's nice to see the robot lady from those automated telephone systems finally found another gig, I know she recently had another robobaby so she's gonna need the cash.

  • We have a lot of them in Sweden as well

  • nice :)

  • they have a big presence in south georgia. In particular, they like Brooks county........

  • Nice one

  • nice song ;] name?

  • We have a lot of them here in Florida as well. Some even maintain a permanent residence and decide not to migrate.

  • Some of them do seem to acclimate to Florida. I ran a golf course here for 25 years, and in years past it was a thrill to have a few couples winter over. In recent years, we've had several families born and raised here. Migration now seems to mean spending a week or two on Philippi Creek, and then flying back to their lake on the golf course.

    Gorgeous, fascinating birds!

  • Yea, it's great some of us were able to do our part in getting them off then endangered list awhile back. The only problem is they are now to used to human contact which tends to be an issue. I had to stop two lanes of traffic the other day so a family of cranes could safely pass.

  • I do agree. It wasn't long ago that they were almost lost, and we cherished and protected each one. More than once, we stopped play on a golf hole because a pair were sauntering across it. In recent times, they've been known to hang out on the lawn behind the clubhouse, and I've walked up to within a few feet of them while they just stood and looked at me. It worries me, but at the same time it thrills me, knowing that they're no longer on the edge of extinction.

  • Same, we have about created a whole new type of crane as far as actions and mindset goes in our efforts to save the species. Cars are the number one killers of the birds from what I can see every other day. People just don't seem to care as they should on so many things not just a bird crossing the road but environmental issues as well. Sad and pathetic at the same time really.

  • @clone002 that speaks for the intelligents of animals and birds. they CAN decide and think. :)

  • I saw thousands of these birds when I was driving through Kansas two years ago. Didn't know what they were at the time.

  • stupid geico ad

    Bet cranes don't taste like chicken! lol

  • polish storks also migrate, but I dont know where... btw: first vid since long time available in my country huh

  • anyone remember 'fly away home'? this vid reminds me of that movie.

  • is that the one with the geese, if so yes. Good movie.

  • ahhah!! so thats where all the sandhills go in the winter - they like standing around in fields all summer in Mi

  • Yes, NE Wisconsin also.
