At about 6:30 this evening, January 3, I heard a flock of cranes flying southward over Norris, Anderson County. I could not determine the size of the flock. The current cold spell may be continuing to push out cranes that had been hanging out north of us. December was unusually warm in Indiana and Illinois. Chicago, for example, had one of its warmest Decembers ever with temps about 8 degrees above average. Chuck Nicholson Norris, TN
