Sandhill Cranes during their fall migration at Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area in northern Indiana. Each fall, tens of thousands of these magnificent, noisy birds visit J-P's shallow marshes. Here the cranes are gabbing and socializing in Goose Pasture shortly before returning to roosting marshes at dusk. The crane count on 11/16/2010 was 11,954.
