This past Wednesday Betty and I were out cleaning up the horse manure. If we saw one flight of Sandhill Cranes heading North, we saw dozens of flights - probably several hundred cranes. There are over 1,000 cranes that Winter down South of us so we will probably see several more.
You can see in the picture above that three of the cranes are flying in an opposite direction. Canada Geese get into their v-shape and head directly North. Sandhill Cranes swirl around and around as they head North. A very different navigation system.
One of these days I need to get a video of them just so you can hear there squawking. It's a delight.
