Yesterday walking out to the garage I heard a funny sound. The sandhill cranes are arriving. Just a few now, but shortly there will be thousands. They stage here and do their mating thing before they continue on to the north for the summer. It is a big deal around here, brings a lot of people in to watch them. Brings lots of rude people in. They stop in the middle of the road to take pics and watch the birds. Drive out into private fields to get closer and generally are kinda a pain. If you happen to come to watch, just pull off the roads and show a little courtesy and you will be treated the same. They put on a good show and right now we have thousands of geese. They will be leaving in a couple or three weeks, tho. Anyway for bird watchers central Nebraska is the place to be for the next month or so. Just do not watch em fly over with your mouth open, they may present you with a present. Bring wine to wash it out with if it happens. lol, Arne.
