Hear, Here: Sandhill cranes heading south

WKAR

We have another installment of Current State’s "Hear, Here" project today. This one happens to tie in nicely to our discussion of the sandhill cranes’ fall migration.

Current State’s Kevin Lavery picked up the sounds of a pair of the birds near Bath, Michigan.

Current State needs your ears to help make this project happen! Submitting your own audio snapshot to Hear, Here is easy. Use the voice memo app on your smartphone to record about a minute of sound. Once you’re happy with your audio, you can email the file, along with your name, a description of the sound, and the approximate location where you recorded it to currentstate@wkar.org.

Kevin Lavery served as a general assignment reporter and occasional local host for Morning Edition and All Things Considered before retiring in 2023.
