About 600 pm this evening, I was surprised to hear the calls of Sandhill Cranes
going over our farm in Jefferson County. The wind had been howling for a few
hours from the northwest since the skies clouded over mid-afternoon. The flock
of 60 birds was not making very good time as they bucked the wind attempting to
head due north.
Why those crazy things feel the need to migrate so early in the year is beyond
me. I suspect they have no idea the weather they are about to endure for the
next week, which may include a fairly heavy snow across southern Indiana and
Ohio following single digit temps over the weekend ...
