 OFFLINE | and heard them today. I obviously live in a flyway for them. I see them every late fall going south and every early spring heading north.

OFFLINE | Yes, whooping.
You can hear them even when they are a tiny V waaaaaay up there. These were way low. The dogs were barking at them they were making such a racket.
They usually mass in spiralling formations just to the south east of me, head about 10 miles north of me in a semi V and then spiral up some more before rocketing off in tight V's. These are the ones that go from Wisconsin to Florida and back again. They are endangered so it is a very uplifting sight to see them. |
