Spring calls of Sandhill Cranes

This video clip starts out quietly but ends with the calls of Sandhill Cranes.

Bird calls, especially in spring, make me feel good.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook farm.

Listen for the bird sounds

Some are in the distance.

You might have to really turn up your volume to hear the sound of the birds this evening. They are the real heralds of spring.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook farm.

An unwanted night-time visitor

Spring must be close at hand. Wild animals seem to know it. Birds are returning to the area and skunks are coming out of their winter retreats, ready to find a mate.

I hope I don’t come across the path of a skunk any time. That is my hope for Stella too. When we go outside we will make lots of noise so every wild animal knows that we’re about and that they should vacate the yard.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook farm.
