WHOOPING CRANES OVER BYRDSTOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although we drove to a higher
point about half mile away from our house, we could have actually seen them
closer from our yard, but for a shorter period of time. We were advised of the
time they left Adair County, KY and about 8:30 A M, I spotted the lead
ultra-light with the main part of the crane flock, followed by another "trike",
then the third one had two birds on it's wing. My hands were shaking so much I
couldn't count the exact number of birds. The fourth trike was following in
case of a dropout and one bird did falter, but caught up again. They were in
our view about 10 minutes.
We began our watch at 6:30 A M and soon saw a small plane wandering around
which I thought might have been Paula Lounsbury scouting the way. I was right
because when the cranes came over, there was the same plane herding the flock.
By the way, I missed the cranes last year because I was setting in a Doctor's
office. I canceled another appointment scheduled for this morning.....there are
some things far more important!!!!!
