World's Largest Sandhill Crane


I almost didn't get to see this because I forgot about it and didn't have it mapped out in my plans. Luckily I saw the sign for it in time. The world's largest sandhill crane is in Steele, North Dakota just off of I-94 on exit 200. You can see it from the highway. Her name is Sandy and no I didn't name this one. She is 40 feet tall and weighs 4 1/2 tons. This one is a fairly new one it was only built in 1999. I think it's the newest one I've seen so far.
