Twice in the last hour or so I've seen flocks of sandhill cranes flying
north, perpendicular to storm winds. Both flocks consisted of about 30
birds. They seem to be doing what sailors call tacking into the wind.
Hopefully they know how to avoid the cells of dangerous circulation within
this storm!
