It seems like the migration of the Sandhill Cranes and the Canada Geese has begun. The fields are always in rotation; the skies full of huge flying wedges of big birds. The bird book (for our region) says the Sand Hill Cranes and the Canada Geese start migration the last week of February and goes through the first week or so of April.
Eckert, Colorado’s Crane Days will start in March. March 10th, plus or minus a couple of days.
Spring…it’s coming to us anytime now.

We’re enjoying some very Spring-like weather here in Tennessee. Plants are coming up and Spring flowers are blooming. I can’t help but worry that Old Man Winter is going to come roaring back.

It seems so early for the birds to be heading home. I guess they know when the time is right.

I think they have to do it in stages. We will get those who are coming up from the lower parts of Colorado other places, as they move through to their Wisconsin, Canada, Montana , etc. homes.

Spring is coming (for everyone who lives where it is an actual season … that doesn’t include me as I have said so many times that everybody is good and sick of it) — for me, cranes in flight evoke the wish to be somewhere else — to travel.

The Geese have such lonesome calls when they move, the cranes always sound very excited!

We always watch the skies and listen for them. Is that a country thing?
