Of all the thousands of Sandhill Cranes I have seen over the years, I have never noticed one with leg bands until today. I was driving down Main Dike Road and about 1 mile before James Road, a crane flew out of the deep woods right in front of my car. It landed on the other side of the road and I could see it was being harassed by deerflies. I started taking photos as it walked away and it was then that I noticed it had leg bands on both legs. Unfortunately, I couldn't read any of the numbers but I have reported it to an email address I found on the internet (savingcranes.org).
I'll report any information I get back from them.
