“For 60 million years, the call of the sandhill crane has echoed across the world’s wetlands and waterways, and it’s been heard in North America for at least 9 million years.  Sandhill cranes, the oldest living bird species, have seen the violent birthing of entire mountains ranges, and then watched these same experience slow death at the hands of wind and rain…  Long before man first took feeble steps on two legs, or raised a rock in anger, sandhills were already ancient.” The Valley of the Cranes by Jim Miller
