I stumbled upon these two Sandhill Cranes while hiking at Crabtree Nature Center (Cook County Forest Preserve) in South Barrington. I didn't see them at first because their coloring and lankiness made them blend in with the reeds. Later, I could hear them calling from a distance. Sandhill Cranes are listed in Illinois as a
threatened species. I hope they stay to nest.
