Sandhill crane
The sandhill crane is one of our area’s most striking birds. They can be found year-round, and one good place to see them is in the pastures near Evinston, just south of Paynes Prairie. Their deep bugling call carries an extraordinary distance. In the right conditions, they can be heard more than two miles away.
