After being alerted by trumpet calls, we witnessed a V shape of 34, a partial V shape of 25, followed by a straight as an arrow line of 42 Sandhill Cranes flying high above our Cleveland, TN home Sunday afternoon. All were seen in the course of 2 minutes tops, and they were heading towards Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge (to join the party there no doubt). Quite a nice yard bird to add to the list.
