The importance of practicing — Sandhill Cranes winter here in north central Florida. Today they were high in the air stream, practicing for their return flight north. Once the little cranes are big enough, the flock begins flying to give the little cranes practice. The flocks are way up in the sky, circling and calling to each other. Then one day, they’ll form their Vs and head north. What a treat to see and hear them.
