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.

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.)
