There are two subspecies of sandhill crane (G. c. pratensis) in Florida which are non-migratory year-round breeding residents. They are designated in Florida as Threatened due to loss of habitat and draining of the prairies and wetlands. Cranes are monogamous and bond when two years of age. The chicks can forage with their parents withing a day of hatching. Omnivores, their diet consists of seeds, berries, insects, worms, small rodents, birds, reptiles, frogs, and crayfish.
