The most abundant cranes are Sandhill cranes I believe. They migrate yearly and usually are mistaken for geese by people on the ground watching them.

When we lived in Nebraska in the ‘90s, we went out near Kearney for a couple days one spring to witness the sandhill crane migration—thousands of them flying in and landing for a stay and flying off. It was quite a sight!

They may look like geese from a distance, but they do not sound like geese.
