transparent Description: Photo was taken while waiting for the plane in the background to land before attempting to haze the two cranes. Sandhill cranes weigh about 10 lbs and have a wingspan of 5 ft. It's crucial to wait until it's safe and all planes are clear when hazing birds near runways, especially large birds.
