Media notes
Accidently came within 50 ft of adults. They were agitated and one had just previously done a distraction display. Nest with or without young must have been very nearby. Some wind, handling noise and other marsh birds in background but the SACR signal is very strong. What a powerful call.
Observation details
We came upon the cranes fairly suddenly and unexpectedly. One came around behind us and made some gestures, including partially spreading and dropping its wings and making a lot of noise. We stood still for a while and that bird went back to its partner but they did not leave. Either a nest, or young, must have been hidden nearby.
