For the past couple of months, Nov., Dec., and very early Jan. migrating Sandhill cranes have been flying over metro Atlanta heading south toward their wintering grounds in the Okefenokee and central Florida. These are soaring birds and require updrafts or thernals to fly. They will be coming back north in Feb. and March to their summer homes in the Wisconsin area. It would be helpful to birders of this area if you and your minions at WSB could predict the days that will have thermals to enable them to fly. This is only a suggestion, use it as you see fit.
