It's a Sandhill Crane and there are many that migrate through this area in spring and fall. Along the nearby Wisconsin River they come through in flocks of thousands.

Along the nearby Wisconsin River they come through in flocks of thousands. Your shots are good. In the fall migration, their mile long changing V formations are an incredible sight. When they fly over Chicago in astounding numbers, they can be heard coming from the North from miles away over street noise. They give you plenty of time to get your kit and get outside to watch them overhead then disappear South. They fly near the lakefront high up and sometimes only nearly visible in cloud cover. I've not yet produced any images worthy of posting. I'll try again this year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bird, I didn't know, we don't have it here (grue du Canada in French). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
