Sandhill cranes are already migrating in October, and numbers usually will peak sometime in November. The birds of the gray wind will spend their winter season scattered across Texas and New Mexico, waiting for the lengthening days to inspire them to dance, court, and peregrinate north again. No common crane has ever been sighted in the state, but they have surely visited, since Nebraska has hosted one in the spring during the past two years. Maybe this is the year. Kansas waterfowl flocks can include anything in November.
Gulls can add spice to the month's list as well.
Gull identification is not for the faint of heart, but I, for one, am glad that some folks seem to be very good at it. Raptors also start to appear in larger numbers in November. Maybe a gyrfalcon will terrorize Cheyenne Bottoms again this year. Maybe the snowy owls will wander this far south. Again, while it is nice to find a rare bird, it is just as much fun to watch red-tails, and marvel at the fact that no two of them have similar plumage.
