Sandhill Cranes

I just read a great quote from Bruce Larson Wind and Fire. He wrote about Sandhill Cranes, "These large birds, who fly great distances across continents, have three remarkabe qualities. First, they rotate leadership. No one bird stays out in front all the time. Second, they choose leaders who can handle the turbulence. And then, all during the time one bird is leading, the rest are honking their affirmation."

Love it. These birds grace Flathead Lake in the summer. They sound almost prehistoric when they call out to each other. I will never look at them the same again.
