Addendum:
Summit County actually does a decent job about enforcing land owners to do something about noxious weeds, IF the issue is reported. On the county web site, there is a way to let the authorities know about problem weeds. Just recently, at the new golf course by my house, there was a large crop Dyers Woad growing. Using the web site, I reported the problem. I received a prompt response, letting me know that the information would be forwarded to the correct person. A couple of days later, I noticed that the weeds had been cut down. Later that day, the county followed up with me to let me know that they had notified the property owner of the issue, and that it needed to be resolved, which it already had.
For small issues, I usually just take care of them myself, including having a compact sprayer, filled with 2-4D. Even just cutting the plant down with a shovel, is better than letting it go to seed, only letting the problem get worse next year.

Tks, Guzzi. Informative.
More accurately, those are Sandhill Cranes, which annually migrate in huge flocks (20-30 thousand) to Southern Arizona and New Mexico for the winter. It's a wildlife spectacle to behold.
