nesting sandhill cranes, May 28 2010
Sandhill cranes are now nesting throughout the Great Bear Rainforest. The pair in this video are being filmed continuously by remote wireless camera, with live streaming video available on nearby Bella Bella Community School's computer network so that students can observe the cranes and control the pan-tilt-zoom camera right from their classrooms. This is the same pair of cranes that were filmed last year, although the nest location has changed to a smaller pool in the same wetland complex. Last year the hatching of the two eggs was caught on film on June 2nd and 3rd. We expect this year's eggs to hatch sometime in the next week, so stay tuned for more clips and updates on our sandhill crane page.
