Valentine’s Day, a day designated for love birds, will be celebrated across the globe on February 14, so let’s look at a bird species that has one lifelong love - the crane. Cranes are large, elegant birds and there are 15 species worldwide. The two types of cranes seen in Canada are the whooping crane, which is considered endangered, and the sandhill crane. There are three subspecies of sandhill cranes: Canadian, greater, which are also considered endangered in some parts of British Columbia, and lesser sandhill cranes (which) are the subspecies seen soaring above the unceded territories of the Secwépemc, and Ktunaxa Peoples, and the land chosen as home by the Métis Peoples of B.C.
