When I went out to get the mail a sandhill crane flew away from on top of the storage building, overlooking the stock tank.
They've been around before and never been a problem. I like seeing them around when they drink from the stock tank.
When I poured in some fish food I watched for the fish to swarm around and eat, there wasn't any fish. There had been four large eight inch, two large four inch, and the rest were around three inches, but skinny. There were seventeen, now there are none.
I poked around with a stick, and still no fish.
Never before have fish been missing after I've seen sandhill cranes.
As you might be able to tell, I'm disappointed.
