They explained that the sandhill cranes are regular visitors to their yard. "They are unique for sure! They visit my yard daily. I look forward to it!" they said.

The original poster shared excitement for the nesting season: "Can't wait to see their chicks!"

This personal connection to local wildlife enriches the environment. The Redditor has a source of daily joy, a front-row seat to the natural cycles of sandhill cranes. Being in nature offers personal fulfillment and can improve mental well-being.
