Whitewater Draw and Sandhill Cranes

Whitewater Draw is a conservation area in McNeal, AZ (Cochise County). It is a large roosting area for Sandhill Cranes. During the winter tens of thousands of cranes can be seen (and heard) in this area.

We took a trip out there and saw the cranes, ducks etc.

We saw more cranes in the pecan orchards along the way.

The video of the cranes themselves isn't that great, it was mostly filmed on a GoPro and phones...It is what it is.
