Mom and Dad Sandhill Crane are working hard nesting—and now they’ve got eggs! Watching them take turns tending the nest is pure joy. Nature is amazing. #WiscoBirder 📷👐🏾🖤🪶

A close-up of a Sandhill Crane inspecting its nest, revealing two speckled eggs nestled in the dry grass and reeds beside a wetland.

A Sandhill Crane sits low in the nest, eyes alert, carefully incubating the eggs surrounded by dry nesting material.

Sandhill Crane bends over a nest, appearing to adjust or inspect the placement of the eggs.

Two Sandhill Cranes work together to build or maintain their nest in a marshy area, both focused and synchronized in their movements.
