Question:

Why are sand hill cranes called sand hill cranes even though they ...?

live in marshes???

Answer:

The Sand Hill Crane has its most important stop over area on its migrations on the Platte River in Nebraska; not too far from the Nebraskan sand hills. Asking in zoology can be a mistake. Even I, a zoologist, do not visit there often. The number one question is; who would win in a fight between a lion and a tiger.
Seem for wild animal rehab centers or just google search these in ur area or name ur local animal refuge and explain whats occurred and ask if they could advise a place to name.
Why didn't you just wiki it? The common name of this bird references habitat like at the Platte River, on the edge of Nebraska's Sandhills in the American midwest.
