Hi !  I am posting this for Shaune Skinner.  Yesterday (11/29/07) Shaune,
her father & brother observed 389 (!!) Sandhill Cranes in Northwestern
Ohio.  At 4:10 PM, they saw 5 flocks flying southeast towards Grand Lake
St. Mary's in Celina, Ohio.  Flock 1 - 120, flock 2 - 80, flock 3 - 60,
flock 4 - 110, and flock 5 - 19.  Their characteristic call/song was very
audible.  She also wanted me to mention that the 18 Sandhills that have
been reported in previous postings in Auglaize Co. were still there as of
yesterday at the gravel pit location.

Good birding !
