Sandhill cranes

Here, have a pretty picture.

This was a flock of sandhill cranes that flew by me back on December 20 when I was down on Wolverine Lake's boardwalk. They've been gone for the last couple of months, finally forced south by the ice and cold.

But last night Monique heard them flying overhead in the dusk. Flocks of Canada geese have also flown by. The calendar turned to March today. Spring is coming. It's not here yet. But it's coming.
