Episode: Closing Sandhill Cranes' Field Buffet
Description: Sandhill cranes are known to reside in Wisconsin until they can no longer easily find their food. Scientists call the birds generalist omnivores.

Jackie Silvicke-Scott is the Private Lands Biologist with the International Crane Foundation. She tells us what farmers can do to prevent the cranes from making their fields a dining hall.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
