Are these sandhill cranes? I’ve only ever seen a few pictures of them. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/Vsjgxktx/5-CE43687-CA70-4809-9-E99-6-E8-B10-E7-E474.png) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/Bvb1J4vc/1-DDE8-ED6-1739-4-F56-906-D-EB5-E6-DCBE96-C.png)

No red on the head that I can see, but I don't know what else would fit.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Yup
Plus most of the whooping cranes have identifying neck and leg bands. All the ones I’ve seen around here have. A fiend took pics of 4 of them next to the trace, they were identified by the neck bands.

I’ve seen a pair out here one other time before, about 3 or so years ago standing in one of our peanut fields next to the hole these are in.

Sandhills are headed your way. I live close to a Refuge up here and they leave every morning to go to ag. fields and back every evening. There are hundreds of thousands of them around my house right now. They stop here every year while heading south.

If y’all want to see some they have viewing sheds setup all over Wheeler. You’ll see thousands and thousands at a time, it’s pretty impressive

I want to kill some. I got tags but no place to hunt. I'm in the same boat. Well, sort of. I have places to hunt, but the opportunities are few and far between on public land.
