Here is a post from Dan Sanders:

> Hello All... At the end of our birding day yesterday (Monday, 8/18/14), we made a stop at Killdeer Plains WA and checked the E and W ends of Pond 27, along the N side of CR 68. While scanning N at the far East end, we saw 3 Sandhill Cranes flying W along the far shoreline. They landed along the water's edge, directly N of where we were standing on the dike, and my first thought was, 'I wonder if these are 2 adult birds with a colt'? Scope looks made it possible to verify this thought as 2 of the birds clearly had red feathers on the face/forecrown, while the 3rd bird did not. The colt was also clearly 4 or 5 inches shorter in height. We had been at this same location 4 days earlier and heard a single SACR call from directly S of that parking area. Many of you will remember that there were reports of this species in the Spring of this year, in this same area, and also that there was a previous documented record of a 'family group' here, three or four years ago. Of course, yesterday's family group could have flown to this location from elsewhere, but that seems unlikely.
