ukefish Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Is this some type of crane? We moved to this property just a few years ago and are right next to the river and a wetland so I've seen many birds I've never seen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukefish Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thank you! Haha, Leech, I actually enjoy the sound they make;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbymalone Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 They are also very tasty critters, provided you can find one in a legal harvest zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dotch Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Almost prehistoric sounding the way it echoes down in the holler here. I get a kick out of it. LindellProStaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 The other evening the Mrs asked what the heck I was looking up in the sky at? "Pterodactyls" I said. I could hear them, but couldn't locate them. Dotch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leechlake Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 they sound like Valesoraptors. Those are those little dinosaurs that ate Newman from Seinfeld in Jurassic Park. My lab makes that noise when she gets excited too. I hate it because it scares me. LindellProStaf and Dotch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roony Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 You know why you can't hear Pterodactyls urinate? Their P is silent. eyeguy 54 and Duffman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBo Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 We had a camper near Crex Meadows up by Grantsburg, WI. Thousands of Sandhills there. My sister was with one weekend and got up early one morning for a smoke. These things were making so much noise, and she had NO idea what the were, that she would not open the door. She was afraid something would attack and eat her if she went outside. We still get a chuckle over that. They are certainly on the move right now, see or hear some passing by most everyday.
