Almost a Century

I spent two hours at Rooks Fishing Lake today.  I picked up two more Kansas year birds.  One of the birds was going to come sooner or later.  It was one I heard only: Sandhill Crane (#98).  It's kind of an unmistakeable sound.  The other bird was one of my favorites.  I saw the bird flew across the road, long tail streaming behind it.  I pulled the car over and glassed the bush.  My suspicions were confirmed: Black-billed Magpie (#99).  I heard at least two birds calling back and forth; I love that sound.
