These are not geese. I was out with the dog today when I heard the oddest noise. Then these two groups of birds came into view. They are Sandhill Cranes, returning from the south. They are really early, but our weather has been crazy.
Ooooh, so cool! I haven't seen any Sandhills in our area this year, though we've had multiple flocks of tundra swans fly over in the past week or so. When I read "These are not geese," my money was definitely on Tundras!
