Spring weather is on its way and with it, love will be in the air. The Sandhill Crane is a species that very elaborately expresses its love for its life long mate each spring. The Sandhill Crane will also reserve at least 2 dances just for their mate. Learn about this exquisite crane in this week’s Tweet of the Week!

Each week we introduce a new bird from the Ottawa-Gatineau area through our segment on CBC Radio’s In Town and Out. Alex MacDonald, Nature Canada’s Manager of Protected Areas, shares interesting facts about the birds that live in our communities. Be sure to tune-in to “Bird Tweet of the Week” on CBC Radio One 91.5 FM on Saturday mornings from 6am to 9am and listen to past episodes on our website.

This episode aired on Saturday, March 26th, 2016.
