Migration

One of the joys of living in the Midwest, is the bird watching. Being located where we are we have a variety of rivers, creeks, ponds and marches near by that attract more than just the classic bird feeder birds like chickadees or goldfinches. Most notably, the Sandhill Cranes make their presence known spring through late fall. They are loud, and big and so much fun to watch fly over the farm. While not all birds thrive in the midst of agricultural fields, our local cranes seem to have adapted and just down the road we can see them start to flock together and take advantage of the left behind chaff from big harvests. It’s certainly a perk of the job being outside to witness the migrations and seasonal changes through the lens of a bird watcher.  One of these years I’ll have a camera that can capture these moments! :)
