HEY MALLARD!
« on: February 27, 2004, 02:40:46 AM »
Bill;
  A couple of days ago, I was out putting up a sattelite and thought of you.  I heard the distinct sound of honkers overhead and looked up to see a nice size flock headed straight for Traverse City.  I tried to warn them about you, but they must not have heard me. :lol:

Local folklore from some of the farmers down in the White River area and across thru the marshes to the west has it that "there will be 3 more snows after the cranes get back and then it will be spring". I've been watching that for about 20 years now and it is really a fairly accurate saying. I just hope that rainstorm that's supposed to be blowing up for Monday from down south brings a few with it!!!!! :grin: Looking back at my calendars for the last few years usually they show up about this time in Feb if it has been a mild winter like the ones we had the last couple years, latest one is 3rd week of March. :(
