Amazing to see 500,000 or so of these birds in one place. I stayed in a blind overnight along the river and fell asleep to the chorus of thousands of cranes.M.L.

It was the first one I have ever seen. I live and farm in Western MA and I don't think they are supposed to be around here. Anybody know for sure if western MA is part of their normal range? <BR> Jacob L'EtoileAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
