of the sar ahui Crane


of the san ahni Crane
The sand hill crane Is g very bright
bird. A Recreation writer says that Its
very name Is synonymous of vigilance
and alertness. 1t feeds on the treeless
plains CT in the barrcr wheat stubble,
where it can see long way beyond
Eunshot. Or Gre of aock is posted
as sentinel. and this bird stands with
bill half open. ready t., eve an alarm.
1t can be killed by uecoying 1t with
pasteboard figures. cut to proper size
and shape and painted; hu. mounted
birds are better. A pit is dug lecp
enough to conceal a man, and decoy 3
are put out. and the cranes are shot
as they come over. The best region to
shoot them is in the Columbia river
watershed and south OF IL in the Pacific
coast states.
E When one shoots a bird of the size
and build of crane IN midair, II col
lapses, like card house or a tent
But such apparent collapses are some
times deceptive, as for instance:
Before l could reach him he scared
on into the air with wheeling flight
Again he hit the ground with fearful
violence, but again he got on his feet.
Running up. thinking to get him alive
for a decoy. tried to tap him on the
head and stun him. He showed fight,
and used my gun as backed on. and
he took to his wings"
The sand hill crane is. something OF a
fighter of men II wounded, and the only
safe crane is dead one. Their bills
are long and sharp, and are capable OF
putting out mans eye.
The sand hill crane has some curious
habits that make him OF more than
passing interest to the student of birds.
Out on the prairies parties OF them
have balls in the spring in which the
select birds seem to be invited. These
balls are picturesque affairs, from the
human standpoint. There are curious
dances. which are sort of solitary
waltzes or pretty slow Jigs. Sometimes
the birds leap over one another and
mop their wings, giving their peculiar
cry. Sometimes rival birds have fierce
ducls. using their keen bills like lances,
battle axes. and swords.
