Several years ago I was hunting up in the thumb area when I saw a small flock of about 8 cranes flying south. Until then I had never seen or heard of cranes being in Michigan so I naturally thought they were geese at first.

But the more I watched them they were too long and their wings too long and narrow to be geese. Plus, they didn't sound like geese either.

So as soon as I got home, I checked the internet and sure enough they were cranes. I don't know which cranes they were tho......

Evidently there's a large sanctuary over by Jackson where cranes congregate......
