Elegant, noble, and spiritual, the sandhill crane is one of the most ancient of all birds. More than a half-million strong, flying in squadrons, these majestic creatures point northward to their Arctic and sub-Arctic breeding ranges. Theirs is an epic story of endurance through the ages. With an intimate lens, Michael Forsberg documented sandhill cranes during a five-year journey across North America. On Ancient Wings intertwines the lives of cranes, people, and their common places to tell their story at a time when sandhill cranes and their wetland and grassland habitats face daunting prospects.
