Can you confirm if they are Whooping cranes? See interesting article here: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/video/video-texas-drought-affecting-bird-migrations/article2355120/
They are Sandhill Cranes. We get ten or twenty thousand through this way for winter. The Hiwassee Refuge is just 20 miles away across Watts Bar Lake from us.
I can do that too....in my dreams...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much they fly at night. The moon is right for a lovely trip. It has to be beautiful up there.

ReplyDeleteWe'll be looking for them, Steve, but think they're smart enough to wait for 14 inches of newish snow to melt.
