Early Spring?

Betty and I worked with Morgunn and Sugar yesterday, Wednesday, and they both did pretty well. After we were done, I heard a familiar squawking sound and looked up. There were 7 or 8 different flights of Sandhill Cranes heading North. In the almost 9 years we've lived in New Mexico this is the earliest we've seen them heading back to the Northern extremes.

Maybe an early Spring?

I love the noise Sandhills make - it's such a rattling/clattering sound. Many of them fly over us in the spring, and some nest in our area - they're beautiful birds.

I'm ready for my coats to be put away and it is only mid-Feb, But, it was 60 today and I spent some time in the yard after work..so refreshing.

Oh wow! This is a major huge deal! This just doesn't happen this early in the season!
I'd trust the cranes and snow geese migrating over any rodent who might see his shadow!

It looked pretty cold on our fly by, I'd hold onto those coats a little longer
