Sandhil...Hi Troutbirder, This is an excellent post. Sandhills are some of my favorite birds. Looking at the migration chart one might not think they would be in western Montana too much, but in the Madison Valley, we used to see them every summer. I loved hearing their lonesome call in the mornings. Thanks for your recent comment on my blog about Yellowstone. It is very neat to have a blogger stop by and leave me a comment when I know they appreciate YNP like I do.

Several groups went by and most interesting to see how they would form a long line and ride the currents in the air. <br /><br />We used to do that I-80 drive to Denver. Never stopped to see anything though -- just kept on driving. Kearney was our usual stop, if we did. I think there is a Pony Express stop exhibit there also.Midlife Roadtripperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700277803842883251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-77651745708716205582016-04-17T21:13:46.963-06:002016-04-17T21:13:46.963-06:00That must be a quote from Silent Spring, which mov...That must be a quote from Silent Spring, which moved me deeply when I read it years ago. <br />I love the call of the Sandhill Cranes.

The river goes along the back of the parking lot. It's very, very pretty down there. I walked along the river one evening and saw a lot of wildlife, things landing in the water, big things sliding into the water as I approached, deer, raccoons, but not cranes. In the back of one of those corn fields you mention someone had planted some marijuana plants. It was flabbergasting at first but then it kind of made me nervous. I worried they might be guarding them, or the cops might be staking them out. I kept moving.<br /><br />Thanks for that post, and the pictures.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-61035159108172907052016-04-15T15:31:33.528-06:002016-04-15T15:31:33.528-06:00Hermit Thrush is a bird that I'm sure we don&#...Hermit Thrush is a bird that I'm sure we don't get here in North Carolina.
