Sandhill sighting in Sweetlake
 

Saw about 200 or so sandhill cranes today on the corner of pine pasture and arceneaux. Quite a sight to see. Parked and watched for a little while. Sorry for poor pic quality. didnt want to get too close.

Cool man!!! I could've thrown a rock at the ones that flew over me the other day(I wouldn't of course). You was scared a Warden was hiding around there waiting for you to get too close? Just joking.:D

Nope just dont want to disturb them. Would like to keep them in the area.

I hear ya.

Cool looking bird

there was a lady on 870 Am the other wanting hunters to call if they see them, they trying to get an accurate population on them

Gonna go run by there tomorrow to show my little boy

them things eat good. from what i hear

Taste like bald eagle. Jk!!!

I have seen them three times this year around Vinton. All the flocks where around 20 or so birds.

They get in that area south of holmwood every single year I can remember. They are like clock work and it's always pretty much the same field. You can bank on em being there every year.

Yep, even seen them there every year for a very long time.

There were more in the Holmwood area last year than I had ever seen around here. Several hundred

Those things are fun to hunt, and eat very good, I have bagged several over the past few years. They decoy well.

That was the mother load we saw yesterday, never seen so many at once.

Went by there sunday to show my 10yr old son and them suckers were right up against the road. We watched them for about an hour just messing around in that field.

Yeah my dad siad they were still in the same spot yesterday.

Saw two flocks of Sandhills fly over Turners Bay this afternoon .

I seen them fly over too. Didnt no what the hell that was

Yep they flew over when we were next to each other . They some huge birds .

I saw them there about 10 years ago. Ever wonder how they get back every year to the same place? How about a deer coming to the exact spot where you hit the horns or blew a grunt call? Or, the big gobbler that finds you, within 10 steps of that yelp you made on the box call 20 minutes ago? Mother nature is bad a $ $.

Yes! Lol I wonder all the time. Every year when I see em there I wonder not only how they find this small field in holmwood every year but also why that field?!

The spot they are at now I have never seen them there ever. But there is another spot we see them every year.

The main place I have seem them is in the field on the corner of Hwy 27 and Lionel Derouin Road, south of Holmwood for many years.

Corey, feel free to come by my house and kill you a couple, they there every year.....don't worry about the law, they skeered to come around our parts.:D
