Ohmygosh that's a lot of cranes! We have just one large crane that hangs out on our pond, I think it's a sandhill crane. It sorta kinda looks like the blue heron that used to hang out except it's grey and much larger than the heron. I tried to get a photo of it yesterday but it flew off as soon as I opened the back door.

These Swarms are always huge.
And they are loud, you hearthem Minutes before you see them.
It's always a Spectacle and everyone is glad, when they are back, because that means, Spring is coming :anonymous:
