Description

Renowned for their elaborate mating displays, sandhill cranes also use body language to announce intent, establish dominance, show arousal, preserve the nest territory and bond male and female pairs. Written by George Happ and photographed by Christy Yuncker-Happ, this guide is the culmination of years of study, with photos of the displays shot in Alaska. One of a kind, this beautifully photographed 12-panel laminated folding guide provides a useful translator for the meanings of their complicated displays.
