The Art of Migration (Sandhill Cranes) Part 2

The timing is right on par with my previous records: March 13, 2015, March 10, 2016, March 11, 2016 (which included 1 Whooping Crane), March 9, 2017, March 13, 2021, and today March 10, 2022. I was able to differentiate the groups by numbers and the time as they passed overhead. Total time observed was 2 hours and 15 minutes. (Orland Park, Cook County, Illinois USA) *Group 8

 

The sky was a pale, blue gray all day, as the Sandhill Cranes flew overhead at thousands of feet in the air. Viewers of this series may wonder, "Why so many shots of the silhouettes of cranes?" The answer to me is in the spectacle to behold, the balletic movements as they fly, everchanging patterns, and a symphony of sound!
