Cranes...Sand-hill Cranes

My daughter told me about a field where there were mucho numbers of sand-hill cranes. She was right...sort of.

They were spread out in 4 different spots...4 different fields. I yelled out the window of my truck..."HELLO...O GREAT SAND-HILLS! I AM SORT OF LIKE YOU...IN THAT I BUILD SAND-CASTLES! COULD YOU PLEASE STAND STILL SO I CAN COUNT YOUR NUMBERS? They wouldn't. They wandered off.

Conservatively...I'm going to go with 300. A lot of birds. A lot of noise. A beautiful sight.

My only complaint? Too far off.

Maybe it was the yelling. Perhaps I should take it down a notch, or try to imitate their call. Could work.
