点评:Wow! It is hard to believe that a world class bird refuge is in middle of the cornfields of Indiana! We were awed by the multitudes of migrating sandhill cranes in February singing, flying and feeding all around Goose Pond. We saw over 30,000 migrating birds each day-- over head, on ponds and in fields. We heard them calling to each other long before we saw them. I wish I could attach a video so you can hear them calling to each other. We were privileged to see 9 of the remaining 70 Eastern Whooping Cranes near the Goose Pond Visitor Center waterways. One day we were lucky to see over 10,000 Snow Geese. This is a bird lovers paradise. February has a local festival called Marsh Madness during migration but only marketed to the locals. Catch the birds when they migrate or just enjoy the daily nature views.
翻译:哇!很难相信印第安纳州的玉米地中间竟然有世界级的鸟类保护区!2 月份,大量迁徙的沙丘鹤在鹅塘周围歌唱、飞行和觅食,令我们惊叹不已。我们每天看到 30,000 多只迁徙的鸟儿——在头顶、池塘和田野中。我们在看到它们之前就听到了它们彼此的呼唤。我希望我可以附上一段视频,这样你就能听到它们彼此的呼唤。我们有幸在鹅塘游客中心水道附近看到了剩下的 70 只东部美洲鹤中的 9 只。有一天,我们很幸运地看到了 10,000 多只雪雁。这是鸟类爱好者的天堂。2 月在迁徙期间有一个名为 Marsh Madness 的当地节日,但只针对当地人。在鸟类迁徙时捕捉它们,或者只是欣赏每天的自然景观。
