Sandhill crane migration spotted at Pike Lake on Superior National Forest last week. Migration begins in early September and lasts until mid-November, so you still have time to see them flying in formation, if you're lucky 🍀. Make sure your sound is on for this one. #WildlifeWednesday 📷: Sandhill crane video by Steve Robertsen/USDA Forest Service. | U.S. Forest Service-Superior National Forest
