It turns out our problem was not sandhill cranes but RACOONS!! We spotted them one night. They also go after grubs. Our lawn guy put down a double application against grubs. We laid green plastic chicken wire down on the affected area for one week and the critters no longer come. Lots of trial and error but this seemed to work.
