The Uncaged Bird -My first Hummingbird has arrived 4/26/2024

I walked out to my garage the other day and heard something like a car alarm coming from the sky. Looking up I saw a river of birds flowing from the Southeast to the Northwest at a high altitude. There must have been hundreds if not thousands of birds up there. Because of their altitude, I couldn’t see much but I later heard that they were Sandhill Cranes travelling from their winter home in the US to their summer grounds in Siberia.  It was astounding, I had never see anything like it. 

I haven't encountered Sandhill Cranes but, I posted this time last year a rare visit from a gorgeous Blue Heron who landed on my garage roof. A similar look.


I haven't seen a Hummingbird at my feeder for days!
