SANDY, THE WORLD'S LARGEST CRANE'S STORY: Landscaped area with Sandy the World's Largest Crane as a tourist attraction and landmark, and a Camper/RV park that is used periodically by travelers. It has not been promoted, so has great possibilities if managed. In the SE corner of I-94 and Exit 200, there is an enormous statue of a Sandhill Crane and upon first glance one doesn't usually get the whole picture of just how large it is. The full scale of the monument stands an impressive 40 feet high, and this particular Sandhill Crane is named "Sandy: and she's the town of Steele's way of honoring her fascinating and resilient species. This Sandhill Crane statue in North Dakota has an interesting reason for being honored. This property is in the heart of the Coteau Rangeland. Also known as the Prairie Pothole Region, it is an area of glacial potholes located in the central flyway, which makes this a favorite spot for migratory nesting wildlife including the Sandhill Crane. The crane is the oldest living species of birds and has existed unchanged for 2-1/2 million years! In real life, the crane stands 3 to 4 feet tall with a wingspan at 6 to 7 feet. "Sandy" the World's Largest Sandhill Crane was built in 1998-99 by James Miller of Arena, ND in his farm shop. James was a self-taught ironworker and farmer and used his talents to build many farm signs with themes like fishing, hunting, and farm animals. When contacted about building this tall statue, James said he was "up" for the task. He proceeded with drawings, which were then transferred to a steel inner framework. Rolled sheet metal was welded into place and finally the crane was painted. The body was built in one section, the neck and head in another, and the legs were made of pipe. It was fully assembled at his shop, then transported to the site location on a lo-boy. The United States Game & Fish - Long Lake Refuge donated funds towards material and the construction of three birding kiosks. They provide self guided tours of Long Lake Refuge, Dawson Slade Refuge, Horsehead Lake and Chase Lake and the different migratory and nesting birds in each area. The site in Steele is cared for and maintained by local volunteers and donations from tourists taking a break to visit Sandy. (see photos below)

Tucked behind the Cobblestone Inn and Suites just off Exit 200 on the I-94, a large Crane looms overhead, watching the surrounding world, welcoming everyone to stop by and say hello.
The Sandhill Crane is a remarkable species, having gone unchanged for over 2-1/2 million years. This evolutionary perfection offers the benefits in terms of survival.
A local farmer turned artist, James Miller was "up" to the task of creating this monument which he spent months perfecting.
Miller created all 3 pieces of the statue in his own farm shop.
It was officially erected where it stands in 1999, and is taken care of by volunteer members of the World's Largest Sandhill Crane Foundation in the city of Steele.
Sandy is a reminder of how lucky we are to have these beautiful, ancient birds in our corner of the world in Steele, North Dakota.
