Nature Notes
Short report on the sightings after our first "cabin weekend".
On Saturday, May 28, great surprise as we spotted a black bear crossing Highway 10, between Cushing and Motely. It's been years since I'd seen a black bear in the wild, that one being in more northern Minnesota.
Sunday, May 29, spotted two Sandhill Cranes in a field north of highway 35 not far from the farm. I was attracted to the cranes by crows who were circling and diving low over the field. When we reached a higher point on 35, you could see them "mobbing" the two cranes who seemed oblivious to the crows.
Monday, May 30, two Indigo Buntings while walking on the "main road" from cabin to 35. They were on the wires.
