A group of cranes is called a sedge because cranes are so closely associated with wetlands, and sedges are grass-like plants that dominate marshes and boggy habitats where cranes feed and nest. Two members of a sedge are pictured here, but there were thousands more sandhill cranes in Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in Socorro, New Mexico when I visited years ago during their yearly migration. To get your sedge t-shirt or onesie, visit my store at specieslimited.com. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 290mm) ISO 1600, f/5.6 at 1/200th of a second.
