Crane Bird Pictures
Great Blue Heron and More

If you are looking for crane bird pictures then you have come to the right place. I am always searching the skies for cranes.

They are some of the most fascinating birds, don't you think? Their wing span is approximately 70 inches. That is over 5 feet.

In case you're not familiar, a rookery is what they call a bird's nesting area. Best of all this sanctuary is close to home. So you can imagine, I spent a wonderful spring getting as many pictures as my camera would hold.

Isn't it funny the way we attract the very things we are thinking about? The day we were told about this Heron Rookery, I had just been taking pictures of a white egret as it fished in the lake. It was early spring and he was the first to show up for the season. I was wondering where their nesting place was just moments before we met our birdwatcher friend.

Notice the dance the Great Blue in Image #7 is performing. He is stalking fish in the Dupage River that runs through the Naperville, IL Riverwalk. Great Blue's return there every spring and if you keep your eyes open, you are sure to get a few crane bird pictures of your own.

Build A Shelf

I have had people contact me asking how they can protect their fish from cranes. These huge birds have been known to empty a full supply of fish from backyard ponds.

You may also consider giving your fish a place to hide. Another way of keeping your fish safe is by providing some where for them to hide when predators like cranes come around.

Build a simple shelf above the bottom of the pond. This could be as simple as rocks piled with an overhang for the fish to swim around.

Information about wingspan and height of cranes was obtained from www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov
