Sandhill Cranes /Buncombe Co. NC



At about 11:30 am I saw two Sandhill Cranes catch a thermal and head
south on that cold north wind.  Someone might want to check Hooper Lane
in Henderson Co.  We have an open, recently scraped field that they were
flying over and may have tried to stop but found no food.  How many
hours per day do they fly and how many foraging? They were near our
house about a mile north of Weaverville in Buncombe Co. near the Flat
Creek exit for US 19/23.

Not a bad yard bird.
