The Sandhill Hokey Pokey 73900

Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis)

They love to dance...

You put your left wing in
You put your left wing out
You put your right wing in
You put your right wing out
And you shake them all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around
That's what it's all about...



Photographed in the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge near San Antonio, New Mexico USA.

Great capture of natural behavior. Our zoo used to have a man who danced with the whooping cranes. Voted.
