Went out to the giant wet prairie near my home recently hoping for Sandhill Cranes. These two and a few hundred others came into the Prairie for the night while we were there. But later in the Season, thousands of cranes will come in, and it is a sight to behold and to hear. The flocks circle first making their haunting calls and birds on the ground answer. They finally settle for the night, sailing in like the pair in the photo. I look forward to the full show later in the year.
