Sandhill Cranes land in a farm field near Eckart, Colorado during their annual migration from New Mexico winter grounds to the northwest United States and Canada for their summer mating season. During a thirty day window from early March until April every evening 50 to 1000 of these migrating Sandhill Cranes arrive in Eckart. The early morning take off and late afternoon landings are a sight to behold. And a photographers delight.

The adult sandhill is gray overall; during breeding, the plumage is usually much worn and stained, particular in the migratory populations, and looks nearly ochre. The average weight of the larger male is 4.57 kg (10.1 lb), while the average weight of females is 4.02 kg (8.9 lb), with a range of 2.7 to 6.7 kg (6.0 to 15 lb) across the subspecies. The Sandhill Crane has a red forehead, white cheeks and a long dark pointed bill. Its long dark legs trail behind in flight, and the long neck is kept straight in flight. Immature birds have reddish brown upperparts and gray underparts. The sexes look alike. Size varies among the different subspecies; the average height of these birds is around 80 to 120 cm (2.6 to 3.9 ft). The standard linear measurements of the Sandhill are: the wing chord measures 41.8 60 cm (16.5�24 in), the tail is 10�26.4 cm (3.9�10.4 in), the exposed culmen is 6.9�16 cm (2.7�6.3 in) long and the tarsus measures 15.5�26.6 cm (6.1�10.5 in).
