Hello Everybody: Just a short comment. Have you noticed all of the reports of sitings of Sandhill Cranes in our Buckeye State? I am sure most of you have. It is very impressive for this species in Ohio. Let's hope this trend continues. Hopefully, this is an indication that wetland preservation is improving in Ohio. Wetlands serve as the real "backbone" of wildlife conservation. Just a thought!
