Fantastic flyovers!

 A spurt of sorts with two mega rarity flyovers at Greenwood Cemetery and Prospect. But Greenwood nudges out Prospect for Fantastic Flyovers Award.

This early morning at exactly 843, Ryan Mandlebaum posted a photo of the back screen to his camera showing an Anhinga over Greenwood. Then 7 minutes along comes Anthony T post of an Anhinga over Prospect s Lullwater. It's likely the same bird maybe doing circles before heading southeast.

A few hours later, at 11:33 another mega rarity over Greenwood Valley Water: Sandhill Crane spotted by Angela P. Her photo of her camera back screen showed the elongated large bird heading south .

Just an amazing scenario of events and southern birds that started with kites the past week ,now Anhinga and cranes 

I always say birding takes a lot of luck: it's being in the right place at the right time and looking in the right direction ( in this case UP!)🍀

For good hawk watching or sky watching a better term, go to Greenwoods Kiamie Crypt southeast of Battle Hill monument . A big sit is sometimes better than running around
