Sandhill cranes do not roost in trees. The only cranes species that will perch in trees are the two African crowned crane species.

Do Sandhill Cranes roost in trees at night, like herons? I am curious if the SACR that is hanging out with the swans during the day goes off to the swans' nighttime roost with them. I know the crane isn't going into one of the lakes with the swans for the night, but I suppose it could go to the swan's night roost with them and hang out nearby. Or is it staying in the field all by itself at night? Does anyone know?
