Description
Art Print of two Sandhill Cranes in a courtship ritual that includes elaborate "dance," with the birds spreading their wings and leaping in the air while calling. This image was captured at the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge in southern Colorado.
Sandhill Cranes are among the oldest living birds on the planet. For millions of years, the sandhills have been spending their "Spring Break" in Colorado's Valley of the Cranes.
Near Monte Vista, Colorado there is a well-protected six-foot-long petroglyph that is unmistakably a sandhill crane. So, as much as 2,000 years ago, humans were celebrating the return of these magnificent birds to the Valley of the Cranes
