I have always thought that sandhills sounded like a flock of turkeys when 
flying in a group.  Individuals do not sound like one, i.e., gobble, gobble, 
but a flock flying over sure does. I have been to Nebraska during the western 
Sandhill north migration in March. You should hear and see 500,000 of them! It 
is worth the trip.....

  Subject: [birdky] whooping cranes??


  I saw a flock of birds over the mountians today, I live in Madison
  County, Berea (Big Hill area) near the Jackson county line. They were NOT
  Canadian geese for sure, and their sound was one that I have never
  heard before. At first I thought it may be turkeys, but then I saw them
  flying by.I would estimate 25 of them were flying by. Are there any other
  cranes known to be migrating right now?
   Thanks.
