Sand hill cranes going north

1936 · Mar 7, 2010

Just South of OHare airport saw a flock of 30 working north. Should find snow cover where then are going?

Can't you shoot'em down before the cackling pains in the backside get up here?

The ones that make it to South America are shot for food not protected.

Hi "1936" I drove down to South central Nebraska last March 19-22 to watch the large migration. Interesting for sure and I'd have to say they are very smart in keeping their distance from humans. Locals down there were friendly and some even stopped me to give helpful advice. Thanks "Corn Huskers." ..ag

Some spent most of winter 1/4 mile from my place in west central Tx. What a bunch of squaking they do. They can be hunted here. Taste like "chicken"?

Three sides of this farm is fronted by federal wildlife refuge "Cross Creek Refuge" when they come thru here it is a big deal they close the refuge and we can,t even drive down the roads on refuge. Thank G.. they don,t show up that offen. I think they (feds) want to encorage them to migrate thru this refuge for some reason..

Heard some tonite. They apparentky like to hang around a swamp on the neighbors. This is in Cental Michigan. We"ve had a run of nice sunny days lately. Don"t ever remember them around her when I was a kid.

We have 1000's of them winter here in SE AZ. They cover up harvested corn fields everyday. They have been leaving in BIG V's for the last 2 days. (Fri. & Sat.)Arizona allows them to be hunted with a permit. Limit 1
