Would a pair of cranes kettle on thermals a la Broad Winged Hawks?  I had a 
pair over my house near Lake Mendota in Madison on Sunday - high up and soaring 
higher, circling on thermals like broad-winged hawks. They went higher and 
higher until (I guessed) they caught the thermal they were waiting for and then 
they rode it forward at a pretty good clip until they vanished.  Has anyone 
else ever observed this?
