I rarely see them in Indiana, but hearing them fly overhead while migrating is a joy. Such a distinctive call.

- stockresearcher 1y agoIn the NW, from the lake down to the Kankakee River, there are a number of state park, national park, and private nature reserve properties that host huge numbers of them. Essentially, what you need is preserved wetlands and they will land. But yeah, that is not the kind of land farmers want to keep around.
