Oh Give Me A Home

If you have been following the District in the newspapers, you might know that we have 2 Sandhill Cranes for which we are considering building a habitat. The Willowbrook Wildlife Foundation has stepped up to the plate. They are committing to raise the money to do it. So today in our planning session, we approved bringing forward a contract to build it.

If you put any credence into fossil records, it is interesting to note that the Sandhill crane is the longest lasting bird species in the world. Some records claim the bird's ancestors date back 6 million years. I think that just out of respect, we outta make sure they have a home.

These birds have an unmistakable cackle that you can hear when they are migrating. You will hear them long before you can readily see them. I had the joy of viewing them one day after a Commission meeting.

So, if you get a note from the Willowbrook Wildlife Foundation, grab your checkbook and help give them a home.
