Yes in the southside of Aledo. My dad sent me a video from NRH Saturday and there were a ton up there too. He has never seen them in the middle of the metromess like that. People at my wife's work kept arguing that they were geese lol. There is a significant difference in the sound the two make.

It can be remarkably loud even when they are very high and far away.

All I can say is if you knock one out of the sky but they aren't dead, make sure you take your gun to finish them off. Them SOB's are tough and their beaks are sharp.

What the h*ll is this thread about? Sandhill cranes. Try to keep up I try every day. Some days are more difficult than others, but thanks for the advice.
Look! Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's an EMP!

Use to see them by the hundreds in fields in northern Indiana when I traveled in the winter... Dan

I love to eat duck, but I'll stomp over a hundred yards of duck to get at a sandhill.
Amen to that. It's not called the ribeye of the sky for nothing.
