Adding my two bits worth, about 100 sandhill cranes flew over our house
about 15 minutes ago (5:30 p.m.) headed northwest at high altitude.

Dan Rosen alerted me to them as they circled over his house shortly
before they reached us.  Dan tells me that for the 25 years that he has
lived in Conyers, the cranes have been flying over his area from the
east, circling, and then heading out in a northwest direction.  He
didn't know what landmark they were using to make their change in
direction,  but many cranes may be following the South River from the
Altamaha and Ogeechee Rivers.
