It was Dave's turn to take Fenway for a nice long walk and his nature adventure was much better than mine earlier in the day. He said he heard what he thought were geese flying overhead......four big groups heading south, one after another.
But the "honking" was wrong and when he spotted them and their long necks he realized these were sandhill cranes. We always see a few pairs in our area starting in the spring and we enjoy watching them as their chicks arrive and grow. I've seen a few flying overhead since we moved to Port but never as many as Dave spotted yesterday.
Sigh.....well today I saw at least three dozen merganzers in our harbor and over by the electric plant so I will be satisfied with that! Migration season....smart birds southbound.....
