Sorry, for the late post.
On Nov. 28, I had 1,018 Sandhill Cranes migrating over my home in the Love Lady
community, Pickett Co., Tennessee.
As in the past forty years during the migrating season, I have been honored by
these beautiful wild birds choosing this location as part of their time honored
route to their winter home. I have never tired of hearing the sound of their
call - some in a high pitched, vibrating "crew-w-w", while others sound
somewhat like a hoarse, tired old goose that has made the trip so many times
they are content to let the younger birds take the lead.
I tried very hard to locate a white bird in each group, but no luck. But again
I was lucky to have seen the Whooping Cranes three times when they were using
this route on their way south.
