[TN-Bird] Sandhills, Long Hunter SP, Davidson Co.

Long Hunter State Park, Hermitage, TN, Davidson County, 11/19/08 
Saw 13 Sandhill Cranes near the walking bridge over Couchville Lake about 4:30 
p.m..  I heard them before I saw them.  Apparently they had been on the bank 
near the shoreline because when I first saw them they were ascending from that 
area.  They circled overheard, disappeared for a bit, but then returned and 
circled over the same area -- flying very low to the ground.  They left (for 
several minutes) then came back yet a third time.  I assume it was the same 
flock because I counted 13 each time.  Heard their calls once more after sunset 
but couldn't see them anymore.
