79.0. "April in Scandinavia" by TLE::SAVAGE (Neil, @Spit Brook) Sat Apr 05 1986 08:43

                                 Cranes dance
    
    April is said to be a time of drama in Sweden, as spring advances
    northward to break the grasp of winter.  In the province of
    V�sterg�tland, over on the West Coast, one of the most dramatic scenes
    involves immense flocks of cranes on their annual migration to northern
    breeding grounds. 

    Pausing in their journey to rest in the fields around Falk�ping and
    Skara, the cranes mystify many a sightseer with their strange,
    awe-inspiring "dance." Each dawn, thousands of cranes leave Lake
    Hornborgasj�n for the fields, and fly back to the lake again at dusk -
    a fascinating sight!
