Hello everyone,
I heard and then saw 8-10 Sandhill Cranes flying over Pagoda Circle in Forest Park in St. Louis going W-SW yesterday at 3:40pm. They were lifers for me! I heard this sound that I did not know exactly but was slightly familiar and I looked up and clearly saw their coloration and the extended crane neck in flight. I got my binos on them for a second but they were too fast for my camera. I realized later why the sound was slightly familiar-I regularly hear the St. Louis Zoo's Sarus Crane calling from its enclosure. Such a cool sighting!
