Local sandhill crane has things to say. Sound on to hear it. He’s standing on top of the island behind the play set and — believe it or not — facing the other way.

Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum
Little taster of a visit to this wonderful place. If you love old machinery to photograph (could spend days there ) and the history of mining. it's really worth visiting.

I'm still working my way through my pictures from the March 13 sunset and look what I found. Sandhill cranes in silhouette.
March 13, 2025. Wolverine Lake, Michigan.
Right now, the Sandhill Cranes are moving back to fields adjacent to the Platte River. At and just after sunset, they'll fly from those fields into the Platte to overnight. I watched them last Monday & Tuesday evening, and it was mighty impressive. We're past peak, but you can still see and hear flocks fly in the distance. It should get better around 8pm CDT. I'll post some of my own vids from last week soon. In the meantime, #CraneCam is good to watch right after sunset when the cranes come in; and just after sunrise when they slowly leave the river.
