[TN-Bird] CRANES !!

Byrdstown,TN  38549
Pickett Co.
At 2:20 p.m., I began to hear Sandhill Cranes while walking on the woodland 
road at my home.  I started counting as they came flying over an opening in the 
trees.  They came wave after wave in the hundreds.  No time to count--just 
estimate. I had to run to a new position to see them as they flew toward the 
north and the lines shifted farther eastward until I had to use binocs to 
count. This lasted until 2:55 p.m.  My estimate was 2,300 more or less.

After 40 years of counting cranes over this place, I was beginning to wonder if 
I had missed them this season.
