Sandhill crane: One of the oldest known bird species.

There are three subspecies of sandhill cranes which use the Klamath Basin and the broader Pacific Flyway. The largest, the greater sandhill crane breed in the West, mostly south of the Canadian border. The smallest, the lesser sandhill crane breeds in western Alaska, and the least-known subspecies, the Canadian sandhill crane, breeds along the Pacific coast from Vancouver, B.C., Canada north to the Juneau, Alaska area.
