Sandhill sighting in Sweetlake

[Lake Chuck Duck]

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.

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.

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?!

[cajunforeman]

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

[DeeCee]

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.
