Sandhill cranes passing over Bluffton
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.
