An Ancient Call 2544
A sandhill crane flies off bellowing a loud rattle call, so typical of this bird. The call can be heard for miles, and each time I hear it I realize that it is a call that resounds not only over distance, but over time itself. Sandhills have populated this earth for at least several million years. That means that we are relative newcomers to the stage. Perhaps when they cackle at each other they are simply saying, "hey, look who just moved in down the block!" We should have respect for these creatures. Mankind has another 1.8 million years to go before we catch up!
