Neat video man, I dont think that would be something a person would catch that often.

pretty cool ...sandhills are neat birds

[ruger#1]

Cool, It is a sandhill crane.

[hunter1993ap]

i saw some of those birds out of anihim lake.

see lots around PG [big drum sticks?]:-P

Cool vid. Seen a few around Kamloops this summer. They disappear pretty quick when they see you. I see them in thick bush each time. Seems strange for a crane to be in the middle of the woods instead of near water. Such a big bird, you wouldn`t think they could take off quickly if threatened in the tight woods I have caught them in.

[tuffteddyb]

seen three of them as we was putting along a lil trail a few days ago,was cool

[sarg]

we seen 3 of them last year in 100 mile well hunt, pretty neat,

[fearnodeer]

Now thats cool

[recoil]

I think that might be the type of bird that has been living in the ravine behind my trailer, about 1/2 hour east of 100 mile. Do they make a loud noise similar to a raven but much louder and more irritating?

Bag limit on those in the pariries. Usually found paired up in fields in BC.

ya this one was in the deep bush no where near water i thought it was cool and wierd.kinda different seeing that when i checked the cam

[scottwh]

Great video! You would think it would be near water?? Mabey needed a touch down to relax :)

[yota]

thats cool to see. I've seen them in the lowermainland while fishing on the lakes here but never in the middle of the bush very cool.

[Glenny]

Seen flocks by the hunnerds up by Wilma's Lake. They hunnem in the states. I wonder what they taste like.

Could be either Sandhills or Great Blue Herons.

Sandhills make sort of a trumpeting type sound......not sure how best to describe but herons can also make an awful racket.

Here is a link to a site that has sounds for both of them.
