A broad range of habitat types are utilized by the Sandhill Crane. Primary habitats include open freshwater wetlands, shallow marshes, wet meadows, stubble fields, and adjacent uplands.

Along migration routes, habitats used are large, open marshes and riparian wetlands near agricultural areas.

Non-migratory subspecies are found in wetlands, grasslands and pine and palm savannahs.
