Hi all,



Some belated reports to augment last Friday's impressive movements of
Sandhill Cranes through Friday. Sorry I couldn't post earlier; have been
e-mail incommunicado down at Deer Creek for the OOS/TNC Bird Conservation
Symposium. On my way there last Friday morning, I was exiting the McDonalds
on Henderson Rd. in Columbus with my morning java, and was stunned to hear
the calls of cranes as I walked out. Forty birds were winging fairly low
overhead on a SW course; not a sight one sees often in urban Columbus. Later
that day, at least 130 cranes were seen by many of the conference
participants flying over the Deer Creek lodge, and I heard of several other
reports.



Friday was clearly a day of  - for us - massive Sandhill Crane movements.
