We would listen to the spring migration chorus on the radio, have contests to see who could find the first Louisiana Waterthrush , and there would even be cartoons about wood-warblers for the kids. If there was such a thing as a birder holiday, the peak of spring migration would be the high point on the calendar.

So, I was excited to read reports in late 2017 of a pair of Whooping Cranes being seen on a cattle farm. I easily spotted the Whooping Cranes in the cattle field. They were large and rather gawky, with a lot of ‘jewelry’ on their legs, oblivious to the cattle and to me. I also noted that the U.S. Did this happen? I don’t know.
