Sandhill Cranes over CB

If you happen to be doing a Big Ass Year,  the best is when the dern birds of Class Aves come to you.  After all, most of those birds can fly.  Easy! 

So when the cranes flew over at about  11:02AM this morning, Crumby figured they were free.  Free birds! 

NIce that the cranes holler as they go along.  They spooked the cat with their hollering.  Anyway, he acted spooked at the same time the cranes were hollering or hallowing. 

Part of the flock, circling to catch a thermal.

Crumby figured today would be a good day for hawks too.  Yet, he has not seen a one yet. Not one!   Probably, the nice low sky with plenty of mid-level clouds made the hawks decide to wait for when conditions for hawk watchers would be sub par to impossible.
