Hello, Birders.
Hannah Floyd just told me that, during a class field trip yesterday, Friday, Oct. 5th, she heard Sandhill Cranes flying over downtown Lafayette, Boulder County. Heard-only. Attagirl... :-) (Hannah also got to see the police respond to a robbery. Did she have an exciting day, or what?) Thanks to everybody for the crane posts to COBirds. Perhaps THE annual avian spectacle for us in Colorado is the fall overflight of Lesser Sandhill Cranes on vismig over the Front Range metro region. I love how the birds' passage comes on essentially without warning. Bryan Guarente can probably predict it; for the rest of us, however, there is a glorious spontaneity about the spectacle. The cranes do it on their time, whenever they want to, and we stop whatever we're doing to wonder and marvel at them.
