Can anyone confirm the kinds of birds that I am hearing overhead? I am in Mableton. That's next to Smyrna which is a suburb NW of Atlanta. Each year, in late October or early November, (the latter this year) huge flocks of large and loud birds fly south in V formation. Now, February, they are making their return.
Based on this unusual sound they are making, I think they are whooping cranes, but I don't know anything about these birds and am just guessing. Am I correct?
If not, what are they?
And, if you can tell me, where is there summer home and where is their winter home.
I'm going to post this on the bird thread too because I've watched these birds for about 5 years and their calls today have finally prompted me to look into it! Thanks for any help you can give me.
