A sign of spring ...

Yesterday, as I was traveling west on I-80 I was distracted when I got to Lexington, Nebraska.  There is a military museum there, just off the interstate.  The land there is a spring gathering spot for crane, ducks, and gesse.  There are a small amount of them, all year round, but their numbers increase as spring approaches.  I have two videos on my You Tube page.  It was difficult to video with any steadiness as the wind was very strong, and it was very cold (and me with no gloves).  My effort was to be able to show the volume, and their song in flight!  Geese, ducks, and crane, en masse, are quite a sight and sound to behold!  For those who may not know, south central Nebraska are an international attraction for crane migration, in the spring.  Here are a few links, if you'd like to learn more about them.
