Sandhill cranes passing over Bluffton

Posted by Fred Steiner on December 19, 2019 - 1:58pm

At least one large flock of sandhill cranes was spotted recently in the skies over Bluffton.

To be more exact it's a construction, dance, sedge, siege or swoop of cranes  – not a flock.

Jodi Brauen shared this photo and the Icon has heard from other viewers that they have also spotted these large birds in the area.

FROM ADA ICON  - (This photo story is also on Bluffton Icon. ) Don't be surpised if you find polar bears on Christmas trees on the ONU campus. It's a local phenomenon, as all Ohio communities carry on their own holiday tree ornament traditions.

For example, in neighoring Bluffton it is not surprising to find a beaver on a tree, as is evident in the next photo in this series. (This story is also posted on Ada Icon.)
