While working in our greenhouse on Saturday afternoon, we first saw a flock of 
about 50 sandhill cranes flying south.  I'm pretty sure it was the same flock 
we saw fly north last Sunday.  As they flew over, I could hear the last one 
telling her mate "I told you to turn left at the pond, but, oh no, you had to 
turn right!  And you never stop and ask for directions!"
After that we saw wave after wave of sandhills flying north.  Saw the last 
flock right at dusk.  Total was about 1150.  We did see a flock of 7 flying 
south about the middle of the afternoon.

Our farm is located in the southern tip of Edmonson county.

  i was told this week by two separate folks that they had seen 50 - 100 
sandhill cranes flying north
  last sunday, 1/9. seemed an odd direction at this time of year.
  tonight right at dusk i heard a flock calling and was able to make out maybe 
40 birds, flying south.
