n.— «We heard a flock of sand hill cranes coming in but couldn’t tell where they were. Finally they broke through the fog and were right on top of Brent.

Brent was excited and said this was very good to eat, the so-called rib eye in the sky.» —“My first goose hunt” by Bowhunterhelm TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums Feb. 3, 2006.
