‍Listen for Sandhill & Whooping Cranes Flying over Washington County during the month of February

Sandhill Cranes Migrating over Washington County

‍If you have spent much time outdoors in February and March in Washington County you have most likely heard a loud bird calls coming from high in the sky.

Most likely these are Sandhill Cranes on their migration back from their wintering grounds in Tennessee, Georgia and Florida.

Often times you can hear the calls of sandhill cranes long before you see them, and sometimes you may never even see them. Sandhill cranes can fly at altitudes exceeding 1-mile high and their calls can be heard from more than 2 miles away. 

‍‍Whooping Crane Migration through Indiana this Month

‍Whooping Cranes are large, bright white birds that move majestically through wetlands, grasslands and the occasional crop fields. Whooping Cranes are monogamous, meaning they choose a mate for life, and perform an elaborate courting dance as breeding pairs.

The Eastern Migration of Whoopers may come through Indiana this month from their wintering grounds in the Southeastern States on their way to Wisconsin and other northern areas. 

‍‍The Washington County Tourism Board is committed to the promotion of groups and activities whose actions and functions encourage the growth of tourism and visitors to the county.
