Leaving work Wednesday afternoon I stopped briefly at the
Walter S. Davis Blvd Marsh on the back side of the Tenn. State
Univ. campus. As I was leaving the marsh, I noticed a long low
line of birds in the distance toward downtown Nashville. I pull
my car onto the shoulder of the road, rolled down my window, and
quickly pointed my binoculars at the group to find a loose
V-formation of 130+ SANDHILL CRANEs. Several of them gave their
distinctive calls as they continued their flight north. My timing
was been perfect. A couple minutes later or earlier and I would
have missed them. Indeed, I had missed seeing them in Davidson Co.
last year, so this was a most enjoyable sighting.
