Report a Banded Crane
Information about many species comes from reports from people who take the time to tell us they have seen a bird with color markers. This information is invaluable to researchers, who may often never see a bird again after it is banded. Please take some time to tell us about your sighting. For examples of different crane bands, click here.
There are many birds in North America that resemble cranes and are often mistaken for a crane at first glance. If you are unsure about what species you are observing, click here for images and descriptions of some birds that are commonly mistaken for cranes.

If you have seen a crane with leg bands, please contact us using the form below as soon as possible! We will respond to you and let you know the history of the bird that you observed.
