Canyon Country Animals
Birds: Cranes
There are two basic groups of Cranes in North America, the Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis) and the Whooping Crane (Grus americana). They differ in size and intensity of coloration. On the ground, cranes look stately with long necks, heavy straight bills, and long legs, with a bustle of feathers over their rump.
