Spring in Vancouver (4)

two Lesser Sandhill Cranes
May 1 on a bicycle ride we discovered these two on a large grass covered playing field - a great surprise so close to major traffic and people ... they were shy, so I was happy to get this shot ...
The sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) is a species of large crane of North America and extreme northeastern Siberia. The common name of this bird refers to habitat like that at the Platte River, on the edge of Nebraska's Sandhills on the American Plains. This is the most important stopover area for the nominotypical subspecies, the lesser sandhill crane (Grus canadensis canadensis), with up to 450,000 of these birds migrating through annually.
The scientific name is from Latin; grus is "crane", and canadensis is "Canadian".
