It won’t be long now
When the Sandhill Cranes will start to gather together in even larger flocks
Gathering to start their journeys back to the breeding grounds
The migrations will begin around March 10th
With around the week of March 20th where we will see that largest flocks
Winging overhead.
Then the large number of flocks will start to thin
So, by the first week in April,
They have left us.
To grace those who live close to their breeding grounds.
Until then
I will enjoy (and I hope you do also) their glorious selves streaming through the clouds,
And hanging about on the farm.
From my world to your heart,

I’m really amazed at this because when I think of cranes I think of bodies of water and these are hanging out in bean and corn fields. Are there bodies of water around your fields and acreage? They’re majestic birds!!

Funny that you love the cranes, here in Wisconsin where they seem to spend the summer the farmers are not happy with them. Apparently they do a lot of damage in the fields.
