I was on the return leg of my bike ride around 1 pm today when I again heard that wonderful sound of Sandhill Cranes. I was at Willow Lane, with trees obscuring the sky, so I jumped off my bike. Two passing bicyclists apparently thought I was crazy, until I yelled “Sandhill Cranes” and pointed to the circling flock of at least 20 birds. Then the 2 cyclists got excited too when they saw the flock. The birds seemed to be circling somewhere over Garden City (maybe they needed a beer?) but I couldn’t tell exactly where. Way cool.

Sweet Find! I have on multiple occasions spotted one in that same locale, usually 2/25 or there abouts.

Happy trails, Rich Nampa
