Greetings from the glaciated northwest!
I was watching the news this evening when I heard an awful banging on a window. It was my wife Micki, trying to get my attention. Well, it turned out that I emerged from the house just in time to see around 100 Sandhill Cranes fly low over our house. It was, I think, our earliest spring sighting and was the largest flock we have encountered in Paulding County. They were not to be ignored, either; she could hear them long before they became visible and long afterwards. So accommodating when one doesn't have one's binoculars handy!
This eclipses our Tuesday sighting of two Turkey Vultures, I think., by a factor of 50 or so!
Bird long and prosper,
Doug & Micki Dunakin
Antwerp, O.
