Sandhill Cranes are everywhere around here.

Big, beautiful birds, too. They were almost wiped out by
idiot hunters, too- weren’t they?
I guess they slaughtered the cranes just for the fun of it.
You can’t eat one.
I know a lot of birds were slaughtered for their feathers for idiot women’s fashions.

I’ve always lived here in their summer grounds so they seem fairly common to me. I like to listen to them in the mornings. Their trumpeting sounds kind of prehistoric echoing through the fog.
