When you are driving west on I-94 through the heart of North Dakota, it's hard to miss the
World's Largest Sandhill Crane which lives in Steele, ND. I've been leading trips, giving talks, and digging the scene at The
Potholes and Prairie Birding Festival in ND for the past six years and every June during the festival, I try to make the pilgrimage to this holy birding shrine.
You must approach Sandy with a mixture of caution and reverence.
It's a bit of a risk because he's perfectly bite-sized for a giant sandhill crane, but we let Liam pose beside Sandy's massive legs.
It's good to see you doing so well, Sandy. Until we meet again...keep your feet in the mud and your head in the clouds!
