I had several groups of SACR flying SE over my house. There were approximately 350 in the groups I saw. They were seen around 1:10 pm and I just went out and heard more flying over, but I could not see them.

It’s Thursday afternoon, 2 pm, cool temperature, bright sunshine, a clear blue sky.
Suddenly I hear a muffled but unmistakable sound. Sandhill Cranes!
I look up and very high above are thirty sandhill cranes circling, their wings and bodies glinting in the sunlight.
After five minutes circling, they form a straight line and head rapidly south. I follow them until they disappear from view.

Hey folks
I came across an app for drawing a CBC circle that is supposed to make it easier and more efficient. I think the developer's last name was maybe Weston (or something like that). Well I payed the $10 but it was on my school computer. The computer blocked it and won't let me download it. So I payed another $10 to download on my phone and I can't get it to work either. Does anyone know about this software? Is it still a viable option? As I type this i feel like I am having some heavy dejah Vu as if I have made this mistake before, lol. Any info you might have would be great.

Date: 12/1/25 8:52 am From: Sargent, Bob <bob.sargent...> Subject: [GABO-L] GOS Scholarships for Two Teens to Attend Hog Island Birding Camp in Maine in 2026
For teen birders (ages 15-17) and their parents:
Want to attend Maine Audubon's famous Hog Island Birding Camp next June for free?
The GOS will send two lucky teenagers to the renowned Hog Island Camp in Maine to participate in the June 21-26, 2026, session of Coastal Maine Bird Studies for Teens. The society will cover the cost of the registration fee and up to $650 reimbursement for the airline ticket expense. GOS will also pay the $100 transportation cost for the camp staff to pick up the teens at the airport in Portland, ME, bring them to the camp, and bring them back to the airport at the end of the week. (Note: Scholarship recipients arrange their own travel. Food and lodging are included in the registration cost.)
How to apply: Applicants must be at least 15 and no older than 17 during the camp session and must be a Georgia resident. Complete the application form located at www.gos.org/YoungBirderScholarship and follow the submission instructions below. You will need to write an essay (350 word minimum) about your interest in birds and birding, your involvement in the Georgia birding community, what you will do with the knowledge you will gain from this camp, your career goals, and how you will spread your interest in birds to friends. Include at least three letters of recommendation with the application. Scholarship recipients are expected to write an article with pictures describing their experiences at the camp for the GOShawk newsletter. To see issues of this newsletter, visit www.gos.org/GOSHawkarchive
Note: You are not eligible to apply if you have previously received two birding camp scholarships from GOS.
The application deadline is January 15, 2026. The winner will be selected in early February 2026. If you scroll to the bottom of www.gos.org/youngbirderscholarship, you will see the past recipients of birding camp scholarships provided by GOS. Don't you want to see your name added to the list?
Applications (i.e., the form, essay, and letters of recommendation) must be submitted electronically (Subject: Hog Island GOS Scholarship) in PDF format to <bobsargent.ncs...>

Hello...
 Time to put your listening ears on. We've had sandhill cranes pass through 2 separate days this week. I almost killed myself the first day making it outside because my brain wasn't comprehending what my ears were hearing. But I did manage to see them passing behind the house and ketteling. Than a friend texted me that they had just gone over Green Meadows park right after I saw them.
 Today Victor was outside and heard them so banged on the window and yelled so I knew to run outside. They were high in the sky going down Due West Road..
 So yes...keep your eyes and ears open. They seem a bit early this year. The past few years they waited until December to start going through. Many years ago, they did traditionally come through at this time in November. It will be interesting to see what they do this year.
