Hello...
I was lucky enough this afternoon to get home just before a huge river of sandhill cranes moved over my house. So yay to working late.
From 4:50 to 5:10 there were 2 rivers of sandhills passing over. The first river was right down my street and many of the groups were low enough I could see their necks and feet with my naked eye. Later they changed their trajectory and were passing behind my house at an angle.
It was an awesome sight watching the waves coming over. Even more fascinating was looking at the waves over lapping so it was like looking at overlapping W's spread through the sky.
The first river was very noisy. The 2nd river was quieter. I'm sure I did an undercount but I reported 1823 sandhills on Ebird.
I did wonder if they were going to make it all the way up to Lake Allatoona and if the water level was low enough for there to be mudflats.
Fingers crossed others got to see and hear the sandhill crane rivers that passed through today.

5:30-5:50: Just saw about 10 very large groups of Sandhill cranes fly over house just now. They are coming one group after another, in groups of 100-200. One group was about 500 cranes.
Does anyone know where they might be resting for the night? We are about 1.5 hours south of the Hiawassee Wildlife Refuge.

Hello everyone!
I was just finishing a pram ride with my son in our neighbourhood, and a
strange bird flew over us low to the ground, making a whistling noise with
its wings. I looked up and saw its profile. Seconds later, I realised in
disbelief that it was an AMERICAN WOODCOCK! I’ve heard them peenting
before, but this was the first time I’d ever seen one, and certainly not
where I expected to! Needless to say, a new neighbourhood bird!
Eyes to the skies!

Hi All,
We're looking for a DSLR, new or used, for bird IDing. Budget is $500
including lens.
Not sure that we need WiFi, image stabilization or mirrorless.
I'm thinking 200-300 mm telephoto lens. Something light in weight.
TIA for any recommendations.
