These birds are really neat. I live in rural Michigan and they’re every where here.

- they’re the oldest enduring species of bird on our planet (been around for millions of years)

- they make a very unique call - it’s loud and prehistoric and definitely makes me think pterodactyl

- they’re often called the ribeye of the sky due to their meat (haven't tried it myself, yet)

- they fly in V patterns like geese

- they pair up and remain monogamous for their lives

I’d love to attend the migration one day and see them all together in one spot. The videos on YouTube are surreal.
