Dateline Kansas: Officials at Quivira NWR report that thousands of Sandhill cranes, geese and ducks have already made their appearance on their journey back north.

Just saw flocks and flocks of Canadian “Honkers” returning to our area (Beaverton, OR) this afternoon (2PM) as I was going into the dentist’s office. What a great site they always are here!
Sure sign that Spring is close! Not much else in Toronto these days to remind us. Good thing that those beautiful ‘snowbirds’ know more than us.
Holy Smokes!! Whew!
Thanks so much for the report, Liz. At least somebody’s on the move. (Am I anxious for Spring Migration or what?) LOL
I say it’s time to “Rock the Flock”!
