Used to be we could hear the cranes flying over our hovel near Candelaria & Eubank in Albuquerque. I'm gonna say it's been fifteen years. I'm not that big on birds but the "count" in my (alleged) mind is a reflection of habitat. If there's no habitat (spawning/fledging grounds) elsewhere, there aren't gonna be many birds here.
The volunteer said if I wanted to see a bunch there was a goodly amount on the first pond to the north. And so there were. But a friend who lives further south, where they used to congregate by the hundreds of thousands on Lake Cabballo, said he hasn't seen 'em flying over for a number of years.
It's an inverse equation. As our numbers increase, theirs decrease.
It's something to keep it in mind: encouraging your son(s) to get a vasectomy. I've never understood why women are expected to undergo major surgery when men can take care of the problem with a 15-minute procedure. And cheap too!
