What The Flock?

Ran to town on an errand yesterday and spied a flock of more than three dozen sandhill cranes.

Grus canadensis - the Sandhill Crane - is particularly easy to identify as it's one of the tallest birds in the world.  If you don't see one but hear their distinctive rattling croak of a call you know they're near.

This bird is capable of flying at great heights and migrates to the southern United States and Mexico.
