At sunset Saturday, a text dinged on my cellphone, and when I glanced at it, there was a photo with the message “14 Whoopers, 2 young ones!” I expected it was from my friends Chris and Barb, and sure enough, Barb sent me 3 photos she took with her cellphone, noting the Whooping Cranes were south of Bismarck along the Missouri River, about 100 miles from home. It’s that kind of totally unexpected information that changes my schedule pretty quick – I would have left immediately if there was daylight a few more hours, but tomorrow would do.
