TN-Birders,

 

Today (02/12/05) was another great day for Sandhill Cranes.  We were gone
most of the day on a "must" trip to the outlet mall in Lebanon but just as
we got out of the car in our driveway at 3:45, I heard the distinctive sound
of cranes.  We looked up and saw two of the largest flights I've ever seen.
There were over 200 in each vee.  The first vee broke up over our house as
they began circling to gain altitude and while they were circling, the
second vee flew into them and broke up, also.  They looked like a bunch of
craniacs going wild in the sky.  My sister-in-law called later to say she
had seen over 20 "large bunches" throughout the day going north.
