SWANS! (Update: SANDHILL CRANES!)


So I was outside the afternoon, and heard a weird noise. I thought for a moment it was Triffids, from that movie.

But the more I listened, the more I began to recognize the noise. It was something I remember hearing at scout camp. Swans.

Then there they were in the sky. They don't show up very well in this video, or in the subsequent photos. But you could sure hear them. And there were fleets of them in the sky, passing over on their way south.

It was a touching moment, to be sure.

I have since confirmed these are sandhill cranes, as a swan's call is more "swan-like," whatever that means. Still glad to I got to see and hear them.
