While visiting with my brother-in-law, 09/08/2012 at 11:20 in Caldwell Co.
our conversation was interrupted by the low approach of four (4) very noisy
Sandhill Cranes. They flew directly overhead at approximately 200 feet moving
from SE to NW. After clearing the house one of them made a sharp left and
dropped into the corner of a soybean field near Nicholas Rd. The other three
wheeled around and joined the first bird on the ground. We, my wife and I,
left a few minutes later and as we approached the point where it appeared they
had landed we spotted them near the road. A field access culvert allowed us
to pull in and observe them at three hundred feet. They were all in adult
plumage. One was favoring a right leg. They acted wary but not skittish and
were feeding while keeping an eye on us when we left.
