Wednesday April 3, 2019 They make noise as soon as the sun comes up and carry on all day! They alarm the alpacas and even the guardian dogs bark at them. But we love them and eagerly anticipate their arrival every year. I’m talking about the sandhill cranes of course. There are 2 pairs who are spending a lot of time near our fences and the alpacas are not ready to stop staring quite yet. A few alpacas are doing their alarm call to alert the rest about the unapproved neighbors, but soon it will all settle down. Sometimes it’s good to listen to your neighbors. 🙂
Photo of the day: These cute noisy neighbors even posed for me. 🙂

I love the joyful sound of the sandhill cranes and look forward to it each spring as they migrate through Indiana. We have several stopping off places where they gather in great numbers for the night to call out and dance. Yes, they are noisy and I am sorry they alarm the alpacas.

The alpacas will get used to them. And we love them. 🙂
