This evening at 5 PM CST (25 minutes after sunset) I saw my first flock of Sandhill Cranes for the season, 55 birds heading south over southern Cumberland County. I subsequently learned that today Joseph Mast saw a few over western Cumberland County, my son found a couple of small flocks over Crossville, and DJ Stanley had a small flock (about 35) over Cookeville in Putnam County. With the duck influx today with the cold front, I'd been wondering if the cranes would also be coming. Ed LeGrand Crossville, Cumberland Co., TN
