There the cranes thrive on corn, the most abundant local food source. The species is incredibly resilient, but they face a loss of wetland habitat and the effects of climate change - so their resilience cannot be taken for granted.

Sandhill cranes have been doing this migration for at least 10,000 years. What are your thoughts on the resilience of these beautiful birds?
These people are so lucky to be able to witness the great migration. Hope the cranes will continue to be able to use the area as a migration stop for years to come. If not, hope there other suitable areas that could meet its needs. They're still a long way to reach the breeding grounds. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.
This is so cool!! I love it
Beautiful! ☺🐦🐥🐤🕊🕊🐧🐔🦃
Beautiful view
While wintering in florida, they seem to be eating bugs in the fields and swamps. Couldn't they be eating bugs in Nebraska too?
Wow
First and so cute and cool ☺️🥇🎹🎻
Species Antigone canadensis belongs to the Genus Antigone, which contains 3 other species of migratory cranes, making the genus nearly worldwide in distribution (with exceptions to Antartica and South America). The genus is part of the larger Family Gruidae, which contains all extant species of Cranes, a worldwide total of 15 species. The IUCN lists the conservation status of A. Canadensis as least concern.
I wanna work with nat geo man ...
Are they the largest species of cranes?
Great question, Marc! While all cranes are among the tallest flying birds, the single largest species of cranes found in North America is the whopping crane. Whooping cranes are currently endangered, having reached a low of just 21 birds in 1941. However, conservationists' efforts are slowly growing the population, which now amounts to about 600.
