I could be wrong, but I believe that is not a sandhill. It looks more like a black-necked crane.

Thanks, RM. I thought I remembered the label on the enclosure, but I wasn't sure. Thank you for pointing it out. I think I've got it right now, although some more ornithologically-minded person might still have a correction.
