I feel so lucky…well, I feel they WE are so lucky!
We have masses of Sandhill Cranes living on the farm.
A huge gift from nature!

In so many parts of the country cranes are extinct because they kept flying into electricity and telephone wires.

Thank you! I’m lazy, I just realised. (Well, I’ve known that for ages.) You gave us this sound before, I think.

Cranes on the move. Can spring be far behind?

They won’t leave here until March. Still I’m ready for spring.

They look so graceful in flight and irrespective of any noise
they are excellent fertilisers and their contribution of this business
is “cost free”. That is the best part.

You are amazingly lucky. I love these big old birds! I am kind of surprised that they don’t fly further South in the Winter. But I’m glad they did not. Keep on enjoying!

They are fairly new here…the last three or four years. I’m glad they have arrived!

The Sandhills fly over us twice a year during migration. It’s always wonderful to hear that call as they fly. It’s sort of like the Canada geese but higher, reedier, a bit of warble in it, the necks too long, with the too long legs behind (if you can see them, sometimes you can’t). We’ve had both the cranes and geese flying at the same time and calling, that’s when you can tell the difference and see it too when the birds are visible. So glad you’ve got some on the farm. They’re very skittish, but I have seen them at a distance.

Actually, I’ve been feeling a little trapped…I’ll be glad when this weather breaks and mud season leaves. Then the world opens up to many more possibilities.
