Sandhill cranes passing over Ada
At least one large flock of sandhill cranes was spotted recently in the skies over Ada.
To be more exact it's a construction, dance, sedge, siege or swoop of cranes – not a flock.
Jodi Brauen, on Tom Fett Road, between Bluffton and Ada, shared this photo and the Icon has heard from other viewers that they have also spotted these large birds in the area.
