Glad to see the crane flight finally manifesting. Below is a link to the Ohio Dec sightings thus far in eBird ... all in the last two days. http://tinyurl.com/ye5ufs5 Eight entries at last count totalling 750 birds. Thanks to those who have contributed, and I hope those of you fortunate enough to encounter something of this flight will consider pinpointing your observations in eBird. As we accumulate these data (including time of day) this can prove useful in predicting future movements perhaps allowing more birders to share this experience. The illustration of such movements in time and space, not to mention convenient archival of your observations, is central to the purpoose of eBird. I think you will find placing your observations within the context of others also of interest. cheers Vic Fazio Lawton, OK ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
