While sitting in his tree stand today, my husband observed and heard 3-4 flocks of Sandhill Cranes fly over the woods. Many birds in each flock - all headed SW which may have put them into Mercer County and the Wildlife Area for the evening/night. Of course, this observation was approximately 4pm. Hunting was over today approximately 5:15 or so. Hope someone to our south can follow them.
