Sandhill Cranes,
hundreds per flock,
fix their wide wings
in a stalling descent,
a controlled falling to earth.
They're gliding into
Bosque del Apache
National Wildlife Refuge
in New Mexico.
Yodeling their calls,
ruffling and preening
their feathers.
These muttering multitudes
creating a cacophony of sound.
A popular place to overwinter
until their spring departure.
