I’m a very amateur birder at best, and my old Birds of Ohio Field Guide shows Hocking County not on the migration path for Sandhills, so I thought maybe I was nuts. Again, I enjoy your articles and photos, and often forward them to my 85 year old father, who has gotten into a bit of birding. So glad you do what you do!Cheryl Gordonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-87827545544099744872021-01-05T16:17:23.346-05:002021-01-05T16:17:23.346-05:00Thanks Cheryl!

Your description is spot on, and there was a huge movement of these birds through the state around that time.<br />Jim McCormachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444322057532066466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-58278677237186908162021-01-05T14:01:35.960-05:002021-01-05T14:01:35.960-05:00Love your posts!

Looking up, I saw a wavering V of about 25 birds—but the calls were nothing like geese. Then I noticed the long legs trailing behind. Because of the light, I could only see dark silhouettes, no colors. The flock was generally heading west, but seemed very indecisive, splitting and reforming. I watched footage on YouTube and they sure sounded like Sandhills—could they possibly have been?? Have you heard any other reports? If you have any thoughts, I’d love to hear them!
